Encore

YWCA Encore is a gentle exercise programme for women who have had breast cancer.

Attending for two hours weekly, for eight weeks, participants participate in specifically designed hydrotherapy and land-based exercises with healthy lifestyle information, relaxation and peer support.

We aim to help you:

improve mobility and flexibility in your arms and shoulders
relieve any discomfort you may be experiencing as a result of surgery
reduce the risk of lymphoedema and manage the symptoms of existing lymphoedema
laugh, relax and have fun

Participants are eligible to attend from eight weeks post surgery. YWCA Encore benefits participants regardless of whether they attend eight weeks or 30 years post surgery. Click here to see the Encore Brochure.
