Exercise program helps recovery

Woy Woy Hospital's hydrotherapy pool will host an eight-week exercise program specifically designed for women who have experienced breast cancer.

The Encore program is coordinated by the Young Women's Christian Association and partially funded by NSW Health.

The program incorporates gentle floor and water exercises, relaxation techniques, information and support.

Instructor Ms Judi Gurzinski said the program was a safe, fun and therapeutic exercise program for women who have had breast cancer.

"The exercise program is specifically designed to target areas that have been affected by breast cancer surgery and treatment," Ms Gurzinski said.

"Gentle but effective exercises improve strength, mobility and flexibility while the warm water in the hydrotherapy sessions relieve affected areas.

"The classes provide an opportunity for women to share their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

"Participation is free, by enrolment only and medical approval is required."

Ms Gurzinski said the program aims to improve mobility and flexibility, boost self esteem and self image, relieve discomfort, reduce the potential risk of lymphoedema, assist women with lymphoedema and create a positive attitude to life and health.

Bookings are now being taken for the program which will run next February and March at Woy Woy.
