?Dragon Boat at Comox Marina

History Of Breast Cancer Dragon Boating

In 1986, the Chinese delegation of Expo ?86 gifted Vancouver, BC with six teak dragon boats. In 1996, Dr. Don McKenzie from the University of British Columbia, in conjunction with physiotherapist and breast cancer survivor, Dr. Susan Harris, formed the first breast cancer survivor dragon boat team in Vancouver.

It was their intent to prove that upper body exercise has a large role in the recovery from breast cancer and lymphedema because it can improve range of motion, reverse muscle atrophy, stimulate the immune system and activate the skeletal muscle. Previously, women were told not to exercise after breast surgery. Since 1996, dragon boating has grown to be an international sport with breast cancer survivor teams being an important part of each festival.
