Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of working with countless people just like you – helping them regain strength, movement, mobility and confidence following breast cancer.
What many people don't realise is that once breast cancer treatment has finished, it can be a long road to recovery. I'm often asked: "how can I get back to doing the things I love quickly and get the most out of my life?"
The Foundation Program is specially designed to do just that – improve strength, flexibility and self-confidence so you can get back to doing the things you love sooner.
