Kay asked Vickey to put together a series of exercises to aid in her recovery after a mastectomy. With Kay's encouragement, Vickey began offering the program free of charge at her fitness studio. . As the class grew in size and popularity, Vickey realized there was a great need for this sort of fitness program for women everywhere who have undergone breast surgery. Following breast surgery, simple tasks like combing your hair or putting away the dishes which require lifting your arms over your head can be difficult. But participants in this program have found they are once again able to do those things and more.
Participants also stand with better postural alignment.
DARE TO CARE is designed for women of all ages and all fitness levels. It is the result of two years of research and was created in consultation with physicians, physical therapists, and the American Cancer Society. All of the women featured in the videos, except Vickey, have undergone breast surgery. Home Videos Testimonials Order Instructor Copyright 1999, The Care Group, Inc.
