The Lebed Method-Exercise Program

"Focus on Healing: The Lebed Method" (http://www.lebedmethod.com/) is a registered trademark and the Lebed Method is a licensed procedure. The Lebed Method program has been offered at many different places across the country for over 20 years. Many patients have reported it to be very helpful. It is important to note, however, that while there is research indicating that The Lebed Method has been useful to some patients the evidence is sparse and not conclusive.
The Lebed Method, Focus on Healing through Movement and Dance, is a therapeutic exercise program for women who have had any kind of breast surgery, node dissection, radiation, chemotherapy, Lymphedema, or who suffer with chronic fatigue. Two physicians and a dance movement specialist created this program to help women:

Regain Range of Motion
Increase flexibility in Frozen Shoulder
Work with Balance issues both physically and emotionally
Help reduce swelling from Lymphedema
May help reduce the risk of Lymphedema
Decrease depression
Add to sexuality
Increase femininity
Promotion of positive self image and joy
Weight stabilization
is FUN and EASY to do
No special physical abilities required

Fun and easy to do.

Certain exercises can be one of the major preventatives for some future problems for survivors, from one day after surgery to 30 years after surgery. This quality program is needed to help Breast Cancer Survivors thrive once they have survived, with a better quality of life.
