Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review:

"This is a truly important book. Thomas Hanna makes clear that there is a major category of human health problems--amounting to possibly half of all human health complaints--[that] can be understood and dealt with only by means of sensory reeducation."
