Pink Pilates

Pink Pilates is a programme dedicated to helping women diagnosed with breast cancer regain their physical strength, rebuild self-esteem and improve their confidence and well-being.  Our goal is to help women recovering from breast cancer surgery or treatments by offering personalised therapeutic programmes that include a complimentary blend of Pilates, physiotherapy, massage, stretching and breathing techniques.

The Pink Pilates programme is suitable for all women and accommodates all fitness levels.  The programme consists of 10 sessions with a personal physiotherapist or massage therapist and each session is designed to suit the individual needs of each women.  The programme is currently being run by Nicola Menzies (physiotherapist) and Nikki Hudson (senior massage therapist/Pilates instructor) who have attended the Pink Pilates training course.

Benefits of the programme include:

• Increased strength and mobility
• Increased energy levels
• Decreased muscle tension
• Increased strength of the muscles of the trunk and improved posture
• Minimising weight gain
• Improved sleep and decreased fatigue levels
• Enhanced physical and mental well-being
• Increased inner strength

The Pink Pilates Trust has been establised to raise funds to support the Pink Pilates programme and make it accessible to as many women as possible.  The Trust currently subsides a large proportion of each session, for a maximum of ten sessions, for all women within two years of their diagnosis. 

Charges for the Programme:

$10 per session for those within two years of their diagnosis that qualify for funding.

$50 per session for those who fall outside of the two year criteria.

Please see www.pinkpilates.co.nz for further information or contact our Ferry Rd clinic on 389 9350 to be sent an information pack.  This programme is now being run from both clinics.

"I feel that I was floundering about with no direction before I joined Pink Pilates.  The hospital physiotherapist had given up on me as I hadn't shown any improvement.  The ladies at PhysioPlus made me believe I could gain further improvements in my arm movements and general well being.  And then they went about and proved it.  I feel they kept me on track and focused.  It greatly boosted my spirit and made me feel a sense of achievement.  A very worthwhile programme.  I think it is a great combination of pilates, physio and exercise.  Thank you all for making this possible".
