How Is Pilates Helpful for Cancer Patients?
According to an article from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center from December, 2017, Pilates can help people with cancer by helping with their balance, muscle strength, easing nausea, and decreases fatigue. In addition, Oncology Rehab states that Pilates is an excellent way to condition and gain strength, flexibility, and overall body symmetry, while minimizing impact on joints. Why is Pilates a Good Form of Exercise for Oncology Rehab Patients? Patients can regain confidence and vitality through the gentleness of the Pilates exercise methods. The adjustable, spring-loaded machines provide appropriate exercises for patients experiencing fatigue or anemia, and patients who are debilitated from chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Additionally, we can put you on a super soft table and do light weight and band exercises that allow you to be comfortable while still doing some full body strengthening.
