内容简介
Studies show that patients who contribute to their own
treatment and recovery fare better in rehabilitation.Tailoring the
concept for those suffering from joint pain, orthopedic
psychologist Kate O'Shea draws from her patients and her own
congenital hip orblems (she has four major surgeries by the time
she was thirteen) to describe a program for caring for the
emotional and physical body while healing joint pain or after
surgery. Conventional medical care, thouch technologically
sophisticated, often ignores the humanity of individuals--patients
are on their own once they are home. Healing Hip, Joint and Knee
Pain offers exercises, breathing techniques, visualization and
writing suggestions for becoming aware emotionally and for
enhancing awareness of the healing joint. Drawing from Rosen work,
Feldenkrais, Eutony, and orthopedic psychologym O'Shea provides the
reader with inviting methods to hasten healing.
