Fatigue seminars

In our gentle group training programme, we work together to improve your own body awareness and strengthen your mental and physical condition. We support you in achieving your goals through gentle but effective endurance training.

There are numerous studies and field reports that prove that physical activity is also essential in the context of cancer and during therapeutic measures. Our focus is on promoting mobility, coordination and body awareness as well as performing light strengthening exercises.
