Local Integrative Therapists and Centers

San Luis Obispo County has many Integrative Therapy options close to home. We've compiled the following list to help our patients find high quality Integrative Therapies. 

Cancer Well-fit at Avila Bay Athletic Club
Avila Bay Athletic Club and Spa
The Cancer Well-Fit Program was initially developed in 1994 by a physical fitness expert, Julie Main in SB, as a way to recover from a battle with breast cancer. After months of chemotherapy and radiation, the body takes quite a beating. This 10-week program is a jump start to wellness. It was designed for small groups and is FREE for any 1st year cancer survivor. The program helps build/restore muscle mass and strength, increase flexibility and endurance, improve energy levels and self-esteem, and gives the tools for the survivor to continue their own fitness routine.
