Body Wisdom: Light Touch for Optimal Health [Paperback]

Sharon Giammatteo (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 9, 2002

Sharon Giammatteo teaches readers a self-healing method that can return life to areas deadened by shock or trauma. The technique is based on the Neurofascial Process, a calculated laying on of hands and subsequent release of emotional and physical pain. The author widens her scope to include any pain, strain, or fracture, and extensive illustrations make the process simple and rewarding.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS, June 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Wisdom: Light Touch for Optimal Health (Paperback)

My wife frequently suffered from tiredness, chest discomfort and breathing difficulty. Doctors diagnosed she suffered from stress and prescribed tranquilizers, but the symptoms still surfaced on and off. I asked her to try the Heart Process in this book. One month has passed since she practises this process and the symptons of stress never returned. The best part is that she only spends 5 minutes on each step instead of 15 minutes as recommended by the author. We are very grateful to the author for revealing this healing method to the world.

I am a massage therapist practising Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Strain Counterstrain as well as MET and an Upledger Craniosacral therapist and have found this book to be most amazing! The techniques work better than some of my Craniosacral techniques. Best of all every treatment in this book can be done without a therapist! Allowing the client/patient to assist in his/her own care is the fastest way to healing I know! Great Book for EVERYONE!

Recommended to me by my integrative manual therapist, Body Wisdom presented excellent protocols for self healing. Placing one's hands (or the hands of others for difficult to reach spots) promotes healing according to the author. Because of copious illustrations the protocols are easy to follow. Those I used seemed beneficial. I would recommend the text to anyone wanting to improve health and promote physical well being.
