Five-Body Cancer Patient Care and Neuro-Immune Research Project
Overview
The Cancer Patient Care Programme forms part of a three—year observational clinical research initiative running from 2026 to 2029.
The project explores how structured therapeutic care may support wellbeing during cancer treatment and recovery.
Participant Capacity
The initial phase of the research project will include up to 20 participants.
This allows for close observation and careful monitoring of each participant’s experience during the programme.
The research focuses on the interaction between:
Respiratory regulation
Spinal flexibility and structural alignment
Autonomic nervous system balance
Patient-reported wellbeing indicators
The Story Behind This Work
The origins of this research are deeply personal.
At the age of 16, Dr. Sridevi To Hai experienced the loss of her father to cancer. This moment shaped a lifelong dedication to understanding natural healing and how the body responds to illness and recovery.
Over the past 25 years, Dr. Sridevi To Hai has studied traditional medicine, structural therapy, and nervous system regulation, bringing together a unique and integrative approach to wellbeing.
Between 2013 and 2015, she led a specialised research project in Vietnam exploring how spinal energy flow and structural alignment influence wellbeing in cancer patients.
Today, this work continues in London, building on those early insights through structured observation and ongoing clinical monitoring.
Research Objectives
The project seeks to observe whether therapeutic interventions focusing on:
- Posture and spinal flexibility
- Breathing patterns
- Nervous system balance
The study focuses on how these factors may influence physical comfort, stress response, and functional balance within the body.
The research is observational and does not replace conventional medical treatment.
