A Path to Self Care Luann Overmyer
Ortho-Bionomy is based on the premise that the body inherently knows how to heal
and self-correct, given the opportunity. This user-friendly self-help guide by
one of the pioneers of the approach presents positions, postures, and movements
designed to release tension and ease pain. Not only are the techniques simple to
perform, but they can be done on one’s own, without the use of special
equipment. Positions for each part of the body are clearly described in lay
terms and illustrated with photos and drawings. Selected topics include low
back, hip and knee pain, neck, shoulder, and rib releases, repetitive strain
injuries, and arthritic pain in the hands. Quick fixes for sciatica, suggestions
for dealing with menstrual cramps, and gentle movement exercises to address
posture, scoliosis, and flexibility of the spine are just a few among 150
techniques described. The book also includes simple movements and exercises to
increase ease, function, strength, and flexibility once the pain has subsided.
Rounded out with human-interest stories and client examples, this accessible
work can be used quickly and effectively by anyone with pain. |
