Somatics Reawakening the Mind's Control of Movement, Flexibility, and Health (Paperback)

From the Publisher: The groundbreaking program for healthy aging through movement and flexibility. In the revolutionary Somatics, 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.
