| What
others are saying about the Lebed Method! |
|||
There is one integrative medicine service that specifically
targets women with breast cancer. "Focus on Healing
is a
 creative
therapeutic exercise program that helps reduce the common side effects
of treatment and surgery for breast cancer patients." Zappa says,
"It is a part of a nationwide program started by a breast cancer
survivor that addresses the two complications most often experienced
by breast cancer patients: frozen shoulder, which is a surgical complication
and Lymphedema. Both of these complications result in a decreased range
of motion in the upper body. We have found that the Focus on Healing
classes prevent or minimize this loss of mobility." Simone R. Zappa, MBA, RN, program director and administrator of the Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. From Radiology Today Magazine/July 2, 2001 |
|||
| "I
absolutely agree with you that it is critical for women to start moving
right away post-op and that they continue moving if they are going to
maintain their mobility and decrease lymphedema. I encourage you with
your work and I think this type of aproach will make a big difference
in the quality of life of women after breast cancer." Susan M. Love, MD Author of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book |
|||
| "An excellent,
long overdue exercise tool for people with or without Lymphedema after
breast surgery." Saskia R.J. Thaidens, Executive Director/Founder, National Lymphedema Network |
|||
| "It
is so important for survivors to embrace their femininity, and this program
offers the opportunity for women to feel attractive again." Sandra Saffle, National Prosthesis Coordinator for Nordstrom |
|||
| "Focus on Healing
can greatly benefit women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer."
Karen Stronach, Manager University of California San Francisco Stanford Health Care Ida and Joseph Friend Cancer Research Center |
|||
| "As
a survivor herself, Sherry makes a real connection with the patients and
can identify with their physical limitations as well as their emotional
needs. Focus on Healing is a great program, not only for its physical
benefits but also because it can be modified to accommodate all patients
and fitness levels." Tammy E. Mondry, Physical Therapist United States Naval Hospital, San Diego, California |
|||
| "Sherry Lebed
Davis is energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate. She also happens to
be a dancer and a breast cancer survivor. All of these traits have been
well utilized in the development of Focus on Healing; a wellness program
for breast cancer survivors designed to improve physical and mental well
being. Focus on Healing helps patients improve their balance, strength,
range of motion, and flexibility, and also empowers them to participate
in their healthcare, decreases fatigue, and improves self-image. The program
is fun and the movements are done to music-incorporating stretching and
strengthening with ballet and jazz." Debby Morgan, Physical Therapist Memorial Hospital, Yakima Washington |
|||
| Focus
on Healing through Movement and Dance is a unique, combined therapy program
representing sound methodology in both physical therapy and psychosocial
recovery for the recovering breast cancer patient. It is an established
and rapidly expanding program that has seen great success, internationally.
I highly commend Ms. Davis, and recommend her program without hesitation
and with full support. Dr. Marc Lebed San Louis Obispo, California |

has made a video for the breast cancer survivor which shows real people,
is easy, and is overall and excellent program" Diane Nannery, national spokeswomen for lymphedema and co author of "Coping with Lymphedema" |
|||
| "This
book and he program it describes should assist many as they strive for
the ultimate goal of therapy---a full, healthful, and active life."
Clifford Hudis, M.D., Chief, breast Cancer Medicine service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center |
|||
| "Thriving after
breast cancer highlights important practical and rejuvenating exercises
for a healthy recovery after the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
My patients will benefit tremendously from this program. Just what the
doctor ordered for a speedy recover." Bert M. Petersen, Jr., M.D. Beth Israel Medical Center |
|||
"This
book offers a glimpse into the experiences of many stronger and more
powerful women who have survived this difficult disease and gained the
resolve to face their struggle bravely. " "The dance routines
address the physical and emotional issues we deal with as survivors
and thrivers!".
