Breast cancer recovery program

Woy Woy Hydrotherapy Pool will hold a free eight-week program designed for women who have experienced breast cancer.

The Encore after breast cancer exercise program incorporates gentle floor and water exercises, relaxation techniques, information and support in a safe and therapeutic environment, according to instructor Ms Judi Gurzinski.

"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 muscles.

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

The program is free by enrolment with medical approval required.

Bookings are now being taken for the July to September program and can be made by calling Judi on 4358 0367.
