What is Pink Pilates?

Pink Pilates is more than an exercise regime - it is a personalised therapeutic programme that is offered to women recovering from cancer surgery and related treatment.

The Pink Pilates Programme is suitable after any type of surgery or treatment and accommodates all fitness levels. It is designed to facilitate recovery from mastectomy, lumpectomy, and breast reconstructive surgery including TRAM flap, LAT flap and breast implant reconstruction. The Programme addresses the physical conditions and side effects of chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy. It can also help reduce the risks of treatment-related side effects such as lymphoedema, shoulder problems, scar tissue formation, fatigue, and weight gain.

The Programme consists of 10 sessions with a personal physiotherapist. Each session is designed to suit the needs of each participant on that day. The first session will be one hour and will include a thorough assessment by one of our Pink Pilates physiotherapists. The following nine sessions will be half an hour.

Costs

We want to make the Pink Pilates Programme as accessible as possible to the women undertaking the Programme. Unfortunately, due to the success, popularity and rapid growth of the Programme, the Pink Pilates Trust has currently exhausted its allocated funding. At re:ab we are currently undertaking a number of fundraising initiatives to enable the Programme to be funded for our local women (see below).

That said, the Programme continues to benefit and improve the lives of women with cancer and we encourage you to commence the Programme at your own cost if you are able to. The cost of the Programme for 10 sessions with a one on one physiotherapist is $585 for the 10 sessions.

Fundraising opportunities

We would love you to help us fundraise for the Pink Pilates Trust so that we can assist our local women to undertake the Pink Pilates Programme.
