We will have an informational session held on Wednesday Feb 3rd from 12:15-12:50 in the Wellness Clinic Classroom.
The Exercise Science and Physical Therapy Departments are teaming up to offer a personalized exercise and wellness program to Ithaca College employees and spouses who:
- Have a current or past diagnosis of cancer
- Are interested in starting an individualized wellness and exercise program
- Are not currently participating in a regular exercise program
Physical activity has been shown to improve the quality of life for individuals with a diagnosis or history of cancer. However, after a diagnosis, considerations and precautions need to be taken to ensure that an exercise program meets the specific needs of the client to ensure safety and success.
This is a FREE program that includes the following:
- Membership to the Ithaca College Wellness Clinic (if not already a member)
- Initial Health and Fitness Assessment and periodic re-evaluation
- Individualized exercise program designed by a team of Exercise Science and Physical Therapy students with supervision and oversight by a certified Exercise Physiologist and licensed Physical Therapist
- Personal and/or group exercise training sessions
- Weekly communication with members of your wellness team
- Tracking of your fitness progress
- Periodic wellness and education classes (i.e. nutrition, emotional support, etc.)
