Movement and Exercise for Cancer Patients

The Lebed method is a movement and exercise program that focuses on the lymphatic system, which is sometimes affected during cancer treatment. Susan DeCristofaro, RN, MS, OCN, takes us through some simple exercises to help prevent lymphedema and neuropathy, from blowing bubbles to gentle resistance stretches, and finishes up with a fun chorus-line routine.
