Focus on Healing Through Movement and Dance for Breast Cancer Survivors

This program helps women regain and maintain range of motion after surgery, decreases the risk of lymphedema and helps reduce the risk of frozen shoulder. Focus on Healing is a program of exercise specifically designed to meet the rehabilitation needs of breast cancer survivors. This creative, therapeutic program gives breast cancer survivors the experience of total body movement and eases their adjustment to a new body image.
