Pink Pilates
In 2009 Tam completed the Pink Pilates course and became certified as a Pink Pilates Physiotherapist. The Pink Pilates programme is specifically designed to help women diagnosed with cancer regain their physical strength & mobility, improve their body confidence and incorporate exercise into their lifestyle. For each woman, the programme consists of one 1hr and 9 half hour individually designed and delivered sessions, that are totally flexible for the needs of the client on the day. It can incorporate Pilates, physiotherapy, massage, breathing techniques, fatigue management and exercise prescription. The Pink Pilates programme is formatted into 3 phases – Post-Op, Recovery and Fitness Phases. The timing of each phase is dependent upon physical condition, the length of the healing process, the type of surgery involved, and the courses of adjuvant treatments. Many variables may exist that will effect particular service & exercise choices at given times. Research shows that exercise therapy is a very important component of recovery from a cancer diagnosis and the effects of its treatment. Exercise has been shown to significantly improve longevity in cancer survivors. Pink Pilates will help cancer survivors to gain a sense of control, increase energy levels, learn exercises to enhance recovery and prevent long-term problems, regain core control and posture, strength and flexibility and regain a confidence in their body. Please call the studio for costs. Gift vouchers are available and make a fabulous gift from friends and family who want to help. The Pink Pilates Trust is a volunteer driven registered charity that is dedicated to fundraising for the Pink Pilates programme. If you are unable to participate in the programme due to economic hardship please contact Tam on 021 566 894 and she will discuss possibilities for accessing funding towards your sessions. To boost funding for our local women, our studio got a team of inspiring runners and walkers together to take to the tracks of the 2011 Mizuno Off-Road half & quarter marathon. We were successful in spreading the awareness about Pink Pilates in Taupo and raised funds that go directly back to women in our community. Some of this money has already been used to help local cancer survivors start their specific Pilates programme. There is still the opportunity to support our local cancer survivors into the programme by a quick visit to our own fundraising page on the Everyday Hero website - www.everydayhero.co.nz/pink_pilates_taupo or pop into the studio for a pair of pink laces for only $10! Great gift idea! To find out more about Pink Pilates and the newly launched Steel Pilates for men, visit www.pinkpilates.co.nz. |
