Encore
YWCA Encore is a gentle exercise programme for women who have
had breast cancer. It comprises an eight week course of
specifically designed hydrotherapy and land-based exercises,
healthy lifestyle information, relaxation and peer support.
As well as helping women rebuild flexibility and strength, it
provides participants with the opportunity to share commmon
experiences and concerns with other women who understand.
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.
