Beyond Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most survivable cancers. Nine out of 10 women live at least five years post-diagnosis. However, the treatment is almost always invasive. It leaves individuals fatigued and with physical problems like lymphedema, reduced shoulder range of motion, pain and stiffness in affected joints, and muscular weakness. In this course, we look at several biomechanical protocols to improve functional movement as well as somatic education principles. The goal is to make movement meaningful and beneficial for breast cancer survivors.
