The Sustainable You: Somatics and the Myth of Aging: The Smart Way to Achieve and Maintain Your Best Body - Tapa blanda

In "The Sustainable You," John Loupos expands on the methods and legacy of Dr. Thomas Hanna who pioneered a revolutionary approach to healing and wellness. Founded in conventional neurophysiology, Somatics entails non-invasive holistic methods for resolving pain and stiffness and restoring optimal mobility. Loupos provides clear insights into the theories, principles, and scientific underpinnings of this unique self healing method. His is a welcome message for baby boomers for whom neuromuscular aches, pain, and stiffness limit personal freedom and accelerate the decline of aging--a decline that Loupos argues convincingly is due to an "archeology of insults" that need not be inevitable. "The Sustainable You" offers an alternative to the usual path of age-related pain and stiffness—no matter how old you are.

“I highly recommend The Sustainable You to everyone who wishes to defy the aging process and continue to be able to use their physical body to its fullest potential.” ~Mitchell A. Fleisher, M.D., D.Ht., D.A.B.F.M., author of Alternative DrMCare Natural Medical Self-Care Protocols “Anyone interested in their own health or the health of others will benefit from this contemporary perspective on the world of Somatic Education.” ~David Palmer, “Father” of Chair Massage, Massage Hall of Fame Inductee “I like this book because the neurophysiology is correct and sophisticated. It is not 'New Age' hocus-pocus. The only people who would not benefit from reading this book are those who want to be passive, who want other people to take care of them, and who don't really want to work towards better health. For anyone else with chronic pain or disability, read this book.” ~Judith Eve Lipton, M.D. Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Assoc.“A skillfully written book, and well grounded in cutting-edge principles of cognitive neurosciences and rehabilitation. An informative and compelling read, The Sustainable You demonstrates how the principles and promise of Somatics are aligned and synergistic with other internal healing arts like tai chi and yoga.” ~Peter M. Wayne, Ph.D. Asst. Prof. of Medicine. Director: Tai Chi and Mind-Body Research Harvard Medical School
