Portimão Rosa has been established to improve both the physical and the functional fitness of people. Some people get impacted in a negative way through the heavy treatments of breast cancer. This is why the management of Portimão Rosa believes that it is essential to keep those people fit by monitored exercises.
Breast Cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer which should be treated on time. It negatively affects your body sometimes. The worst effects of breast cancer are as follows:
- Fatigue
- Less mobility to walk or move
- Lower body and muscle strength
- Lower aerobic capacity
- Lower density of bones
These effects cause the human body to be very weak. This is why programs like Portimão Rosa are very important to keep your mental and physical health in check. The program offers various aspects of a new health and working environment. The program starts with a detailed checkup of each individual. This is done to check their muscle strength and cardiovascular limits. It also focuses on the health conditions of each individual.
