PINK RIBBON PROGRAM

The Pink Ribbon Program is a system of Pilates based exercises specifically designed for post-operative breast cancer survivors. The exercises help survivors regain range of motion and strength in the affected arm.

It is a non-profit organization founded by Doreen Puglisi of the Pilates Center in Fairfield, New Jersey.  Doreen founded the program in 1998 and unfortunately, underwent a total mastectomy in 2004 after discovering she had breast cancer. After her surgery, no formal physical therapy was prescribed, and Doreen was able to use the Pink Ribbon Program exercises to regain mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected region. This personal experience has helped Doreen to understand and reshape The Pink Ribbon Program to help survivors more effectively.

At The Good Space Pilates and Yoga Studio we are dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle and positive body image to all cancer survivors. The Pink Ribbon Program will help strengthen the shoulder, chest, back and abdominal muscles, allowing women to regain full range of motion to those areas affected by breast cancer surgery. This program is suitable whether your surgery was recent or several years ago.

Though the Pink Ribbon Program is designed specifically for breast cancer survivors, we welcome any cancer survivor with special exercise needs.
