Written with a forward by a leading oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan and based on practical advice gleaned from the front lines of the author's personal training practice, The Healing Power of Movement will be recommended and empowering reading for all cancer patients, whether they are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, or are recovering from surgery.
