About this title: The groundbreaking program for healthy aging through movement and flexibility. In the revolutionary , Thomas Hanna demonstrates that so many problems we accept as inevitable over time-chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and even high blood pressure -need never occur if we maintain conscious control of nerve and muscle, a state which Hanna calls sensory-motor awareness. This gentle, lifelong program can help almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day.

"I absolutely LOVE this book. It is written in such a way as to easily understand what Somatics is about and very clearly shows how to do the gentle movements that reteaches the brain how to move the muscles. I was brutally attacked and left for dead. Suffered massive and severe injuries. The injuries healed but the muscles were so contracted, constricted, spasmed and frozen that my pain stayed at a 7 & 8 on the pain scale and could easily spike to 10 without notice. My life had spiralled down to a viscous circle of agony. I tried every modality of healing known to man including yoga, massage, physical therapy, chiropractors, accupuncture, accupressure, prolotherapy, injections into the muscles, natural herbal supplements, machines, gadgets, lotions, gels, belts, heat therapy, ice therapy., etc. The Ortho doctors said the only possibility of relief was surgery. The only problem of surgery is that the success rate is LESS than 1%!! So, I kept researching and found Hanna Somatics. I located a practitioner in my area. My first appt, I was in so much pain, I was sweating profusely, nauseaus and barely able to walk. I was tilted to the left and bent forward like the shape of a "C" I walked out floating on air. Was given Somatic movements/exercises to continue doing and thankfully I am regaining my life back. I HIGHLY recommend this book and this modality of movement. It WORKS. I am living proof!! Every taught movement is so gentle and done is a very slow manner. It feels marvelous and I eagerly look forward to the next time to do them."
"This is a great first-encounter with the topic of sensory motor amnesia, and so much of it rang true for me. It is based on the Feldenkrais method of dealing with chronic pain. Makes a whole lot of sense."
