This program is low impact and is appropriate for virtually any fitness level. No cardio is required. After a thorough evaluation at USF and incorporating just one hour of exercise using balancing techniques and strength-building Pilates flexbands into your day, you can regain much of the feeling in your hands and feet that you lost after chemotherapy treatments for your breast cancer.
Congratulations, you’ve beaten breast cancer. Now, your peripheral neuropathy is the last hurdle to clear to feel like your old self again.
