BREAST CANCER AND EXERCISE
Men do develop breast cancer, but overwhelmingly this disease affects women. In America, the chance of developing breast cancer in a woman’s lifetime is 1 in 8, compared to 1 in 800 men(91), and risk increases with age.
The National Cancer Institute has a great Risk Assessment tool, which can help with your understanding of what questions are relevant in your screening: https://bcrisktool.cancer.gov/calculator.html
Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor; anything that decreases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer protective factor(92). Overwhelmingly, exercise has a major role in prevention, protection, and survival of breast cancer(93). But what kinds of exercise? How do you know you’re helping and not making things worse?
Is it possible to do harm while they’re undergoing treatment?
We aim to answer these questions and more in our Breast Cancer and Exercise Mini Course, with Physiotherapist and Breast Cancer Survivor, Leanne Hughes from Inspire Physio and Pilates.

BURRELL EDUCATION & INTOYOU
Jenny Burrell, creator and director of Burrell Education in the UK, approached Clare Hozack from IntoYou in 2015 to represent her in Australia and New Zealand.
Both Jenny and Clare believe that women are underserved in the fitness and health industries, and aim to “bridge the gap”. They do that by providing truly female-focussed, well-researched, and specific continuing education for personal trainers, physiotherapists, and massage therapists who want to serve this population better.Read More
