Sherry Brourman

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.

A physical therapist with 25 years of experience shows readers how to use the body's natural motions to restore proper alignment, to allow the body to strengthen in all the right places, remove pain and heal all by itself.
