About Exercise Therapy:
With over 10
million cancer survivors in the U.S. alone, cancer is no longer
necessarily seen as a fatal disease-but as one that is either
curable, or like heart disease and diabetes, manageable as a
chronic condition. This guide will help patients, regardless of
type of cancer, regain lost physical and psychological
functions. Conditions such as fatigue, loss of strength, and
depression are all too common to many cancers. Indeed, it is
often not the cancer itself but the treatment and the inactivity
that follows, that affects the afflicted individual.
Howard Stidwill’s latest book is written to be understood and
applied by both medical professionals and cancer survivors
alike. After 12 years of research with cancer patients and
teaching medical professionals, Stidwill offers sound advice in
an easy to understand and implementable format.
