Somatics

Reawakening The Mind's Control Of Movement, Flexibility, And Health

De: Thomas Hanna

Narrado por: Chris Kipiniak

Building on the foundation laid by Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hanna's groundbreaking work completely redefines the body's potential for withstanding decline. His gentle program for the mind and body proves once and for all that so many problems we accept as inevitable over time -- chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and, at times, even high blood pressure -- need never occur if we maintain conscious control of nerve and muscle, replacing Sensory-Motor Amnesia with Sensory-Motor Awareness. The good news of Somatic Exercise is that most people simply do not have to become captives of age or injury. Once learned, this lifelong program can help almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day.

serously great information that has relieved me of long term back and neck pain. Persevere with these as they really help

I really hope it works!

The book itself is great; the narrator and the author make you enthusiastic and optimistic about all the messages and exercises. The narrator made the book a pleasant listen and I literally wanted to jump out of the car to try the exercises.

My only qualms with the book was that a lot of the content was describing the success stories and not enough of how to utilize the principles. I have suffered with back pain for years and am eager to try anything that works without drugs or surgery. I don't think that there is enough in this book to 'cure me' but if I see improvement I will definitely pursue somatics classes.

Excellent

Extremely useful information for me personally and professionally. A good read for anyone interested in self healing.

great information

Life changing

This book has helped me immensely. It was recommended to me when I was treating my plantar fasciitis. At the time I was also feeling stiff and sore and was in so much pain just getting in and out of the car!! My back would stiffen up in just a short period of time. I learned how to do all of the movements in the book and I practice it daily now. Now when I bend down to pick something up instead of being in pain it actually feels good, like a good stretch! After learning the movements I was able to find some YouTube videos that help me to see the movements and to make sure I am doing them correctly. Thank you for writing this book!! Sincerely, a 65 year old woman who is now able to get down on the floor and play with her grandson, pain free!!

Exercises

The exercises in Chapter 14 were very helpful though at the beginning they were hard to follow.
