From Bodily Knowledge to Intuitive Movement : Where Physical Therapy, Yoga Therapy and Pain Science Meet

From Bodily Knowledge to Intuitive Movement is an essential guide for physical therapists and yoga therapists. The book introduces and expands the understanding of yoga therapy as a powerful problem solver while also describing the author's lifelong personal practice and ongoing study.

This book prepares physical therapists, yoga therapists and all movement practitioners to recognize various components of discomfort including the bio, psycho, social and spiritual contributions to posture, movement patterns, and to their pain. This multi-layered approach helps readers utilize the methodology to then share and collaborate with clients to help devise their personalized approach to self awareness and bodily presence. Sherry Brourman masterfully coalesces physical therapy, yoga therapy and pain science to create this valuable resource that ultimately utilizes intuitive movement for better health. The book offers practical advice, real-life examples and case studies as well as deep insight into how individual bodies can move and heal within each body's 'normal'. Twelve key yoga postures, their transitions, and energetic missions are explored in great depth as templates, giving practitioners the insight to choose and share the self-empowered process of inner investigation. This becomes the reasoning for choices including yoga therapy sequencing as response to multi-layered health conditions.
