CANCER FITNESS
A good fitness program can play an important role in decreasing the recurrence of cancer, maintaining good health and increasing quality of life through diagnosis, treatment and beyond. In the past, doctors would recommend lots of rest and limit on physical activity for many patients who were suffering from a chronic disease or illness such as cancer. However, according to the American Cancer Society, new research is prompting doctors to encourage their patients to be as physically active as they possibly can throughout cancer treatment and also during recovery.

And, as always, please consult your doctor to see what type of physical activity is appropriate for you before beginning any type of fitness program.

"After training with Sabrina in a relatively short period of time, I am walking without a limp. As a result of my sessions, I am able to perform my usual activities with increased energy and far less, or at times, no pain. I can lift heavier objects than I ever could before and I can now walk for a longer period without pain or fatigue. In addition to my increased range of activities, my mental health is much better. I leave every session feeling physically and mentally better than when I came in."
