Product Description

Product Description
Maintain youthful flexibility in just five minutes a day.. Building on the foundation laid by Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hannas groundbreaking work completely redefines the bodys 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 timechronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and, at times, even high blood pressureneed 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, it has saved me $100's and a lot of pain., 13 April 1997
By A Customer
This book uses visual aids to teach you how to solve your own skeletal problems, such as a painful back, headaches. Chronic problems such as poor posture can be changed in very little time. You will learn to troubleshoot your own problems and gain flexibility and strength. It has truly saved me hundreds of dollars on Chiropractic bills. Thank you Mr. Hanna. I have bought about 10 of these books for friends in pain. A very easy read and reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars This really works., 25 Feb 2009
This review is from: Somatics: Reawakening the Mind's Control of Movement, Flexibility, and Health (Paperback)
For the last 4 years I'd been having problems with my back after a back operation I had. I've had trouble breathing, and a whole bunch of other problems. I'd seen countless doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors, but none of them helped in anyway. Eventually a chiropractor told me about this book, and I must admit after reading the description I thought it would just be some "hippy new-age garbage". Thankfully I put those ignorant thoughts to one side as I was so desperate for anything that might help with my condition. That was one of the best decisions of my life.

This book immediately helped change my life for the better, it identified problems in my body and explained them better than any specialist had been able to (I was suffering from the "red light effect" identified in the book). Within a week the techniques and stretches explained in this book helped to remove all of my problems and symptoms

As a 21 year old I've now got a new lease on life, and I feel like my body's returned to how it was four years ago. I can't thank Thomas Hanna enough, everyone should have a copy of this book. It's the real deal.
