Book Reviews of Muscular Retraining for Pain-Free Living
Book Review: Thank you Craig Williamson!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has muscular pain issues. As someone who has suffered from neck, shoulder and hip stiffness and pain for years I can tell you that this book - both the narrative as well as the exercises - have helped me tremendously!
In the narrative, Craig Williamson not only provides the muscular/spinal theory behind why we have pain and how it can be alleviated, but provides numerous examples from his occupational therapy practice demonstrating problems and how they were corrected. The exercises in the latter half of the book really do work.
As part of the exercise description, the author adds the points "Sensing" and "Imaging" after the instruction on how to perform the exercise. Both those points are as important to the success of the exercise as the instruction. It really helps in the success of the exercise to follow and think about what you're feeling in your body as you perform the exercise, since one of the main points of the book is to become more aware of what your body and muscles doing.
As a result of the narrative and exercises in the book, I am standing taller and straighter, my muscles are more relaxed, and I am far more aware of how I hold myself (and how to re-correct my alignment and posture when I fall back into my former habits).
