Lean back slightly at the end of this cycle
At the end of the stroke, relax arms and rock forward from hips, bending knees and return to starting positions and repeat! I started working in the Hope Centre back in 2016 as a lymphoedema therapist and more recently as a bra fitter for breast cancer clients. I feel very privileged to work with the clients who attend the centre.
Lymphoedema is a poorly understood life-long condition and people who develop it after a cancer diagnosis and treatment often feel lost and alone. It is fantastic that the Hope Centre provides support and treatment for lymphoedema clients so that they can better manage their condition and not feel isolated.
I am honoured along with the other lymphoedema therapists to work with these clients to improve their quality of life.
Body image for a woman who is or has gone through breast cancer is often not discussed. Its amazing how a lady feels when she wears a properly fitted bra. It improves her posture, her clothes fit better and she feels more positive about themselves. The Hope Centre provides a comfortable, relaxed environment for these ladies to attend for this services and I am fortunate to meet and care for these ladies.
The centre is a credit to all the people of Wexford who support it through on-going fundraising such as Hope & Dream 10 and it is a vital resource for anybody, their family or friends who are dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
