Quotes

The Lebed Method is the ultimate method to incorporate the essential component of decongestive therapeutic exercises into the treatment protocol for lymphedema. With its medical basis, The Lebed Method utilizes gentle stretches and movements sequenced to open the lymphatic pathways appropriately in the same sequence that MLD is performed. The exercises are gentle enough that anyone can do them, they can be performed sitting or standing, and the best part is that The Lebed Method is done to music which makes it so much FUN!! Your patients will be having so much fun they won't even know they're exercising! I have already begun incorporating The Lebed Method into my CDT treatments, have gotten fantastic results and lots of smiles from my patients! I am so glad that I discovered Sherry and The Lebed Method . . Focus on Healing". In addition to providing a wealth of knowledge, the class is great fun. After taking the class, you will have the necessary tools to immediately incorporate this therapeutic modality into your treatments.
Cathy Kleinman-Barnett, MOTR/L, CLT-LANA, LMT, CLM

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

"This book is so upbeat and hopeful"
Lisa Lynn Sowder, M.D., F.A.C.S

"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!".
Judi Fisher Breast Cancer Survivor

"Finally, someone 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
