Book Synopsis"Brilliant Like reading the best well kept secrets about the human body freely, clearly and openly!This is a must read for all movement teachers, practitioners and all curious about the human body!" Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"I am exuberant about this book. It is stunning in its depth, including an historical perspective of anatomy as well as clearly written exposition about the intricacies of human posture and movement. I especially like the exercises for practice that help to bring the text alive. I couldn''t be more pleased with this articulate, readable anatomy and movement book. I predict it will become a sourcebook for yoga teachers and other health professionals for years to come."Judith Hanson, yoga teacher"From Anatomy to Architecture, from Biomechanical to Biomotional and from Classical to Connected "- speaks to all bodies, in all modalities; in a world seeking unity and connection more than ever.Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement was written partly as an appeal for Yoga Teachers to appreciate the depth and breadth of Yoga as a science, a movement practice and a philosophy that fundamentally espouses "wholeness" as the basis of living anatomy and form. Yoga calls for unifying who and how we are; and as teachers - how we can help our clients (who are all different) move better.Classical Anatomy (in the West) divides the body down into its component parts and traditionally (unchanged for 400 years) reduces its functionality to those parts; usually described in a 2D iconic forms and founded in lever-based mechanics. In the East, such reductionism was never espoused and Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement covers two huge bases to bridge the difference and upgrade understanding of Yoga, to 21st Century anatomy:The first is to recognise that the leading edge of Fascia Science changes all those reductionist views (anatomically and biomechanically). It is carefully explained in the first part of the book and shows how the New Science of Body Architecture actually makes perfect sense of yogic philosophy of union and wholeness.The second is to take this paradigm shift and apply it in practice, to the subtle understanding of the fascial architecture and how that helps us move better. Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement attempts to ask questions, find suitable research and make all this practical and applicable to teachers and practitioners of all types. (Indeed, it teaches "posture profiling" and creating Class Mandalas, to support this). It is a contemporary yoga teacher''s bible.This book is for those who want to integrate scientific knowledge with practical application in yoga and movement disciplines, as well as yoga therapists and teacher, yoga instructors, bodyworkers, manual therapists, movement educators, anatomy and physiology students, somatic practitioners, fascia enthusiasts.Joanne''s newest book Myofascial Magic in Action: A Movement Practitioner''s Guide to How the Body Really Moves (Understanding Fascia) publishes in December 2024.

Book SynopsisThe complex effects of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Type 3, Hypermobility), or EDSIII, on a patient's physical and mental wellbeing are extremely challenging for everyone involved, requiring a multidisciplinary care team and enormous dedication from the patient. This book presents an overview of what it means to be a chronic complex patient, examining the wide range of physiological and psychological implications associated with EDSIII and other conditions such as endometriosis and fibromyalgia. It explores the exercise and rehabilitation work involved in managing the condition effectively, considering a diverse range of medical treatments and complementary approaches including physiotherapy, Bowen Technique and Feldenkrais Method(R). There are contributions and insights throughout from experts in the fields of physiotherapy, rheumatology and health psychology, all of whom have extensive experience of working with complex chronic patients. The author links her own symptoms and experiences to those of other EDSIII patients and discusses how she has been able to reach a point where she can successfully manage the condition.This book will be essential reading for professionals working with EDSIII and other complex conditions including medical professionals, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, counsellors and complementary therapists, and will be of interest to patients with EDSIII wanting to learn more about effective management of the condition.Trade ReviewIsobel has once again written an incredibly readable account of her never ending journey dealing with (HMS) and the effect it has on her body and those of fellow sufferers. -- Pilates with Julia blog and Pilates Tree Magazine, Julia CrossmanThis second book by Isobel Knight on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Type III) is targeted at medical professionals and offers a unique combination of the latest research on the subject plus her own experiences as a sufferer of one the hypermobility syndromes (Type III). Despite the target audience being medical professionals the book will no doubt be read by the vast numbers of people suffering from a hypermobility syndrome who hunger for information.

Book SynopsisThe book takes an integrated approach to pain rehabilitation and combines pain science, rehabilitation and yoga with evidence-based approaches from respected contributors. They demonstrate how to integrate the concepts, philosophies and practices of yoga and pain science in working with people in pain. An essential and often overlooked part of pain rehabilitation is listening to, working with, learning from, and validating the person in pain's lived experience. The book expounds on the movement to a more patient-valued, partnership-based biopsychosocial-spiritual model of healthcare where the patient is an active and empowered participant, as opposed to a model where the healthcare provider is 'fixing' the passive patient. It also explains how practitioners can address the entire human being in pain, and how to include the person as an expert for more effective and self-empowered care.Trade ReviewThis book is a long overdue integration of yoga into multidisciplinary health care. Here, modern pain sciences are blended with ancient wisdom and I was left with the overall view that peace should be used as a health outcome. -- David Butler PT, EdD. Associate Professor, University of South Australia and Director, Neuro Orthopaedic InstituteWhat an incredible body of work. Finally, a book that thoughtfully brings together the science of pain, the wisdom of yoga, and the heart of understanding to look at the complexity of pain and pain care. A must read for health professionals and yoga therapists who want real answers to help improve the lives of those living in pain. -- Michele Lawrence, Director, Inner Peace Yoga TherapyIt is a daunting task to bridge the gap between the timeless experiential teachings and practices of yoga and the experimental, evidence based approach of modern medical science. Yet, this book Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain does it in an extraordinary manner. Having known all three editors and a majority of the contributors personally for many years, this exemplary contribution to the field of yoga therapy and healthcare, truly gladdens my heart as multidimensional applied aspects of yoga come alive in their universal magnificence. There is no greater joy and fulfillment of purpose in one's life than the ability and opportunity to help another fellow human being transcend their pain and suffering. This splendid book is a "must" for anyone who wishes to deal with the pandemic of persistent pain as it offers a way out of the maze of human suffering thus enabling us to become what we must BE; loving and compassionate humane beings. -- Yogacharya Dr Ananada Balayogi Bhavanani MBBS, MD (AM), DSc (Yoga), C-IAYT Member National Board for Yoga in the Ministry of AYUSH, Govt of India and Director, CYTER of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherrry, India. www.sbvu.ac.in/cyterIn Yoga and Science in Pain Care, Pearson, Prosko, and Sullivan have crafted a scholarly and clinically oriented book linking Yoga practices and philosophy with the management of pain. This readable volume provides insight into how Yoga can become an integral component of a treatment model for pain. The contents bridge disciplines and provide, through various scientific and clinical perspectives, an accessible integrated understanding of how pain can be managed through a deeper understanding of yoga by exploring the methods, neurophysiological mechanisms, and philosophy embedded in various forms of yoga. -- Stephen W Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Indiana University, Professor of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina, and author of The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling SafePain is complex, requiring a multifaceted approach to successfully understanding and designing effective interventions for pain care.

This carefully crafted book offers us a vast and priceless array of theoretical and practical insights, interventions, and resources for enhancing our ability to fully understand, support, and provide effective pain care for individuals living with pain. -- Richard C. Miller, PhD. Co-Founder, The International Association of Yoga Therapy and developer of iRest Meditation: Restorative Practices for Health, Resiliency, and Well-BeingYoga and Science in Pain Care is a 'master text' that seamlessly integrates contemporary scientific understanding with the breadth of yogic body-mind principles.

The list of editors and contributors is a 'who's who' of leaders in the field of therapeutic yoga. -- Leigh Blashki, C-IAYT, Past-President, Yoga Australia, Founder – Australian Institute of Yoga TherapyYoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain is a book that every yoga teacher and therapist should study. It offers current, real, and inspired wisdom on the effects of acute or chronic pain and how to manage it through yoga. It addresses the complex issues around pain, and how mind/body yoga techniques can change the responses of our nervous system toward pain.

The authors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care have elegantly illuminated theory, history, clinical expertise, and personal practice so that laymen, clinicians, and the yoga community can have a resource on every page of this text.

That is what you will get in Yoga and Science in Pain Care. Whether you are looking for explanations of pain, or applications of the biopsychosocial model, or how being curious improves outcomes, there is plenty to sink your teeth into without either fluff or overwhelm. The time is right for this book, and I'm glad for its publication. It will help transform rehabilitation and healthcare. -- Susi Hately, B.Sc. Kin, C-IAYT, Training Health Professionals How to Integrate Yoga Into RehabilitationThis book is a comprehensive volume explaining the philosophy and practice of yoga, as well as its benefit as a complementary therapy for those who are suffering with pain. Written by Health Care Professionals who are leaders in the field of Yoga Therapy, it provides a scientifically sound basis for the incorporation of therapeutic yoga in treating the current epidemic of chronic pain.

I was hooked in the first chapter when I read, "My pain allowed me to develop a different relationship... and new understanding of myself." This book weaves hard science with self-empathy. It connects the inner workings of the nervous system with the ancient teachings of the gunas. I was truly fascinated reading every chapter. I found that I could not put the book down.

This insightful and both research and experience-based book explores yoga therapy as a treatment and living practice. The authors provide an integrated, in-depth understanding of how yoga therapy can be incorporated within a modern understanding of pain as an experience. The book encompasses perspectives from people living with pain, summarises research progress in the field, debates theories of pain and pain management, considers the many different yoga practices, describes pain biology, self-regulation and examines breath, body awareness, nutrition, emotions and responses to pain, and above all, integrates concern for practitioners and people with pain as humans sharing an intangible experience together. The authors write with precision and care to ensure novice and expert alike will learn more about how yoga therapy can provide a uniting and compassionate approach to helping people with pain learn to live well. -- Bronwyn Lennox Thompson, PhD, MSc, DipOT, Postgraduate Academic Programme Leader, Pain and Pain Management, Orthopaedic Surgery & Musculoskeletal Medicine, University of Otago, Christchurch, NZThis book is the only book I've come across in the yoga space about pain science that is directly related to yoga.

This collection of clinicians, practitioners and thinkers provides us a roadmap for bridging the best of east and west, and advancing our knowledge of humanity for the greater good. -- J. Brown, Yoga Teacher, Writer, PodcasterThe collaboration of these dedicated educators, most of whom I know and dearly value, is a gift to professionals in the field, and in turn, to those who suffer. They have put forth an authentic, credible, practical, compassionate and thorough exploration of the experiences of, and caring for, human "beings".Viewed through the lenses of modern science and yogic wisdom, it proves to hold deep respect for the uniqueness of individuals living with pain by honouring the complexity of the human system. -- Helene Couvrette C-IATY, E-RYT500, Yoga Educator President MISTY - Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic YogaSomeone with a painful back doesn't think about a forward bend in the same way as a yoga teacher, or pain scientist. Yoga and Science in Pain Care will help you translate different languages for talking about the body and mind, and build a vision of Yoga for pain relief that is accurate, compassionate and empowering. -- Todd Hargrove, Author of Playing With Movement: How to Explore the Many Dimensions of Physical Performance and HealthThe medical industry has oversimplified and overtreated patients in a fragmented way without addressing the wholeness of their suffering and perpetuating a myopic view of pain. Yoga and Science in Pain Care will help the world see that the yogic wisdom of the ages is converging with scientific revelations-that the only way toward sustainable transformation for those suffering with pain is to restore the whole person and facilitate change in all of its complexity. -- Melissa Cady, D.O.

All readers, regardless of their past experience with yoga or pain science, will treasure this book as an essential resource for its comprehensive, yet relaxed and conversational approach to complex topics. -- Susan Tupper, PT, PhD, Strategy Consultant, Pain Quality Improvement, Saskatchewan Health AuthorityAfter first experiencing one of Pearson's lectures, I suddenly felt I had been given permission by the scientific evidence to use my yoga toolset to work with my own pain - to actually listen to my body and respond - thus sparking a pivotal moment where I entered into a healthy relationship with my pain. I began supporting my clients to do the same, and have since brought Pearson and Prosko back to give lectures, where I've watched them ignite this same spark in students and rehabilitation professionals alike. And in this new book by Pearson, Prosko, Sullivan and other fellow spirited change-makers, I see the same spark - an influence that will no doubt continue to radiate, illuminating the way to a necessary paradigm shift in pain care. -- Cassi Kit Director, Faculty, & Administrative Coordinator Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT, PYT)Yoga and Science in Pain Care provides both patients and practitioners alike with a truly unique guide to decoding the pain puzzle with science and yoga-based therapeutics. In an ever-evolving arena of research, discovery and perspectives, each chapter takes a science-based approach to analyzing different angles of pain care that together creates the most comprehensive body of work available on the topic. -- Diana Zotos Florio, Physical Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Strength & Conditioning Specialist MPT, CYT, CSCSI am confident you will learn as much as I did while reading this amazing timely collaborative book- about unique approaches to yoga in the setting of chronic pain, such as Lori Rubenstein Fazzio's Virtual MRI, Michael Lee's conditions for transformation, not to mention what we do and do not yet know about how yoga impacts the course of persistent pain. This text is destined to become an instant classic and required reading in the field of yoga therapy, and its impact will no doubt be felt in many other fields working with persistent pain. -- Baxter Bell, MD, co-author of the book Yoga for Healthy AgingThis extraordinary exploration of the multi-dimensional experience called "Pain" will greatly benefit not only yoga therapists, but a wide range of healthcare practitioners from psychologists and physiotherapists to even nutritionists, who all share the desire to care for their clients as individuals from an integrative and biopsychological-spiritual perspective -- Maggie Reagh, Director of Yoga Therapy International www.yogatherapyinternational.comThis is an essential resource for yoga teachers too, as it is not uncommon for doctors to recommend yoga to their patients for back pain. Yoga teachers tend to work with people in pain at some point; and while it is not our job to treat them, it is our responsibility to help them. The authors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care have done a stellar job integrating pain science into the context of yoga. Utilizing this current information on pain science will bring a new level of integrity and professionalism to yoga teachers. -- Ariana Rabinovitch Founder, YogaResearchandBeyond.comA refreshing holistic approach to pain care which integrates a biopsychosocial framework for managing pain and moving through life with more grace and freedom. Yoga provides a valuable lens for compassionate curiosity towards the experience of pain and what else might be possible. -- Michele Theoret MS, MA Counselling Psychology, E-RYT 500, Yoga Therapist

Book SynopsisMost of what has been learned about how the brain mediates behaviour comes from experiments of nature where a stroke or other damage to the brain produces changes in a person''s behaviour. In Matter of Mind, one of the leading figures in behavioural and cognitive neurology uses patient vignettes and other examples from his rich professional life to show just how much knowledge about brain functions such as reading, writing, language, control of emotions, skilled movement, perception, attention, and motiviation has been gained from the study of patients with diseases of or damage to the brain. No knowledge of neurology or neuroscience is required to understand the book, which is intended for neurological patients and their families. It will also be of interest to professionals who study the brain or treat patients with brain damage including neuropsychologists, neurologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and their students andTrade ReviewFor those fascinated by neurobehavioural syndromes and how the disordered mind can be understood from intensive observation and experimental deduction . . . [this book] offers an important perspective . . . an adventurous romp through the modern history of behavioural neurology . . . fosters an appreciation for the intricacies and subtlety of brain-behaviour relationships. The information is presented in a way a layperson can understand, and a neurologist, young or mature, can relish. * Neurology Today *This is a book intended for general public readership. It is surely going to be enjoyed by readers with interest in how the brain works and, specifically, in the relationship between brain and mind, even if they do not have a specific knowledge in neurology. The book is timely, trying to fill up some of the remaining gaps in the ever-growing scientific study of behaviour, emotions, cognition, and other similar human brain mediated functions . . . It is well written in an easy-to-read conversational tone that makes the very complex mind matters understandable, and attractive, to the non-specialized reader. * Clinical Neurophysiology, 114 *Table of Contents1: Introduction 2: Language-Cognition Speech - Reading - Writing 3: Emotion Emotional Communication - Emotional Experience 4: Attention 5: Self-Awareness 6: Memory 7: Motor Skills 8: Sensory Perception 9: Conation-Intention

Book SynopsisHands are miraculous tools that are used both for sensing and acting on the world. Although a great deal of research has been conducted on human hand function, there is no coherent presentation of it to guide those seeking to understand its current state. This volume surveys normal hand function in healthy individuals and presents a new conceptual framework for organising and analysing what is known about it. Jones and Lederman organise human-hand research on a continuum that ranges from activities that are essentially sensory to those with a strong motor component. They distinguish four broad categories along the continuum: tactile sensing, active haptic sensing, sensory-guided action, and non-prehensile skilled movements. These categories are used to consider critical aspects of the hand, including the sensory and motor basis of manual function, the role of different parts of the hand in perception and action, tasks the hand can perform, and the changes in manual function from birth Trade Review"...a work of impressive scholarship that combines the breadth of coverage normally found only in edited collections, with the conceptual integration and uniformity of style that characterize the best single-authored works...Human Hand Function deserves to be read and reread by anyone with a serious interest in the hand's sensory and motor functions and the cognitive processes that control them."--Mark Hollins, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "...a very well written and extensive compilation of a diverse literature on the hand as a perceptual organ."--Robert H. LaMotte, Yale University School of Medicine "...a comprehensive, thorough, and cohesive work by two noted authorities on haptic perception and control...while the scope is broad, the coverage is at the same time deep. The citations, which I didn't try to count, must run to well over 1000 in number-themselves worth the price of admission."--Lawrence E. Marks, John B. Pierce Laboratory "In Human Hand Function, Jones and Lederman have produced a work of impressive scholarship that combines the breadth of coverage normally found only in edited collections, with the conceptual integration and uniformity of style that characterize the best single-authored works. It is deeply informed and authoritative, yet clear and engaging, and does not require technical knowledge on the part of the reader. The organizational framework is logical and satisfying. Human Hand Function deserves to be read and reread by anyone with a serious interest in the hands sensory and motor functions and the cognitive processes that control them." --Mark Hollins, Professor of Psychology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This is a very well written and extensive compilation of a diverse literature on the hand as a perceptual organ. It is not so much a critical evaluation or novel synthesis of scientific findings but rather a unique description, listing and bringing together of the literature--from tactile sensing and sensory neurophysiology to haptic processing, interfaces, and methods of evaluating hand function. In this regard it succeeds admirably and provides a valuable resource for both the novice and the specialist. Each will find a great deal that they will not have realized existed and gain insight into what remains to be discovered." --Robert H. LaMotte, Professor of Anesthesiology and Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine "At last, a book devoted to the functions of that marvelous instrument of evolution, the human hand! Human Hand Function is a comprehensive, thorough, and cohesive work by two noted authorities on haptic perception and control. The authors consider the functions of the human hand broadly, from multiple perspectives, including tactile and haptic perception, sensory physiology, motor function, cognitive control, and robotics. And while the scope is broad, the coverage is at the same time deep. The citations, which I didnt try to count, must run to well over 1000 in number--themselves worth the price of admission. Novices and professionals alike will find much to learn here. No doubt my copy will quickly show the signs of wear from repeatedly consulting it." --Lawrence E. Marks, Director of the John B.

Book SynopsisExplains how, before entering World War I, the United States sought a way to avoid the enormous cost of providing injured soldiers with pensions, which it had done since the Revolutionary War. This title includes a story that culminates in the postwar establishment of the Veteran's Administration.Trade Review"This thoughtful, provocative, deeply researched, and beautifully written study shows how the US government took responsibility for soldiers who were physically injured and maimed in World War I, and why there was support for government intervention. Linker's answer, superbly dissected and presented, is that there was a brew of intersecting motives: from American ideals of masculinity, modernity, and militarism to work and self-reliance." (Rosemary A. Stevens, Weill Cornell Medical College)"
