It is now well recognised that a modified exercise program improves survival rates from cancer as well as improving physical and psychological functioning. There are numerous credible clinical studies with evidence to support this. The Pinc program consists of 10 one-on-one sessions designed and delivered to meet the needs of the individual client. The program is designed to restore physical strength, improve body confidence and incorporate exercise into the client’s lifestyle. The program is flexible to accommodate the different phases of cancer treatment and recovery.

A combination of modalities such as manual therapy and massage to restore balance to the musculoskeletal system, breathing techniques to promote relaxation and Clinical Pilates to increase core and general muscle strength. In addition the combination of these modalities will help to decrease the risk of cancer treatment side effects such as shoulder problems, scar tissue formation, weight gain, fatigue and lymphoedema. Each client will have an individually prescribed home exercise programme.

The Pinc Pilates Program was developed in New Zealand by Physiotherapist Lou James. The Pinc Pilates Program is well recognised, supported and utilised in New Zealand. Debbie Summers has completed the Pinc Certification Course in New Zealand and is registered as a Certified Pinc Rehabilitation Physiotherapist and Pinc Program Provider.

Did you know that integrating clinical Pilates and yoga principles into your workouts can transform everything from your gym routine to your daily life activities? 🧘‍♀️💪

✨ Focus on Breath: Both practices emphasize the importance of breath control, which helps improve oxygen flow, reduce stress, and enhance performance in any physical activity.

✨ Core Engagement: Building a strong core through Pilates not only supports proper posture during workouts but also makes daily tasks easier, like lifting groceries or sitting at your desk!

✨ Mind-Body Connection: Yoga encourages mindfulness, helping you stay present in your movements—this awareness can lead to better form and prevent injuries, whether you're hitting the gym or just walking around.

✨ Flexibility and Balance: Both disciplines improve flexibility and balance, making everyday movements smoother and reducing the risk of falls.

Incorporate some of these principles into your routine and feel the difference! 🙌
