Psychological benefits of Rebounding<\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The exercise was good psychologically for Mr. Kofsky, since so much activity had him believing that he was “winning” his battle against cancer. Philosopher Michael Novak has described winning as “a form of thumbing one’s nose, for a moment, at the cancers and diseases that, in the end, strike down all of us.” The patient pushed himself harder each day. By the end of a year, he had doubled his daily rebounding time and was seemingly able to go into a meditative state even as he bounced on the device. Mr. Kofsky additionally increased the number of swimming laps, miles run, and time punching the bag. He gained a new confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since he needed to research his Ph.D. thesis, later the student was forced to drop back on his two more time-consuming sports at the gym and swimming pool. But he never diminished the amount of his jumping for health, because he traveled with a portable rebounder which folded into its own airplane carryon bag.<\/span><\/p>\n

I met Sam Kofsky 120 feet below the ocean’s surface at Grand Cayman Island when we buddied during a morning scuba dive on the North Wall’s underwater drop off. Returning aboard our dive boat, he enthusiastically told me of his involvement with rebounding. I told him then of my having authored a book on the same subject. We met often during that vacation trip and spoke about other alternative methods of healing. Our conversations took place in January 1995, and we’ve stayed in touch since. Kofsky, now age forty-two, had already lived well past his prior dire prognosis. He attributed the circumstance of his thriving to his jumping for health and life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The same time that he took chemotherapy and engaged in his prolonged exercise therapy, the Dartmouth student finished his doctoral thesis. He is now an assistant professor of economics at a midwestern university. Dr. Kofsky needs no chemicals for cancer and feels fitter than ever today. Perhaps the malignancy still lurks somewhere in his body, for once cancer has been present the potential for its return always remains. Still, this economics professor knows that he has fought it off the best way he could. Dr. Kofsky continues to rebound and participate in other sports activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
