ICYMI: ‘Rowing therapy’ helps Chilean breast cancer survivors and patients with physical recovery, especially after surgery, and provides an important support group
SANTIAGO, July 25 - For the Chilean women of "Fortale-Senos Chile", rowing isn't just a sport, but an activity that aids physical recovery from breast cancer and provides an important support group.
The circular and repetitive movement helps the rehabilitation process, especially after surgery, while the community provides a sense of unity.A member of a dragon boat rowing team, for women with breast cancer and survivors, delivers rowing blades to her teammates before a training session in a lagoon on the outskirts of Santiago, Chile July 24, 2022.

That team now has bigger aspirations: to travel to an international meeting of rowers in Brazil this October. "This is giving us a new paradigm, a new horizon," Farias said. "Our attitude towards life is different."Reporting by Rodrigo Gutierrez; Writing by Natalia Ramos; Editing by Lisa Shumaker
