Body Mechanics in Health and Disease

 
by Joel E Goldthwait (Author), Lloyd T Brown (Author), Loring T Swaim (Author) John G. Kuhns (Author)
 
paperback
 
Modern medicine and many manual therapies effectively ignore the impact of posture on the health of the individual. This pioneering study by doctors back in the mid 1900s is a must read for bodyworkers everywhere. Informative and insightful, it gives credence to the importance of good body mechanics in the alleviation of many of the ailments that beset us today, including heart conditions, diabetes and arthritis. Joel E. Goldthwait was Chief of Orthopedic Surgery in Boston in the early 1900s. He developed a successful approach to the problems of chronic diseases founded on the concept that these conditions arose because of body misalignments which in turn led to compromised organ function. It was a revelation to many that standing or sitting badly could impact more than just the spine and joints.

The Origins of Polarity Therapy and European Neuromuscular Technique.

Includes the Notebooks of Dr Randolph Stone.

Hardback 236 pages

In this volume, which includes a faithful reproduction of Dewanchand Varma’s original book on Pranotherapy, the reader can trace the growth of one of the early developmental branches of modern manual therapy and learn something of the lives of two of its early pioneers. 

Varma’s work has branched into two major forks. One fork was created by Stanley Lief  ND?DC who studied with Varma in the 1930s and who went on to create European Neuromuscular Technique (NMT) and the other was developed by Dr Randolph Stone DO?DC?ND, a pioneer in energy medicine, who was also strongly influenced by Varma’s work. Stone was the founder of Polarity Therapy which shares many similarities with Neuromuscular Technique but has, to this day, maintained more of the original vitalistic approach that Varma taught. This book also includes the previously unpublished notebooks of Dr Randolph Stone written in the early 1970s at the end of his teaching career. Euro price equivalent €22.00

The book will be shipped airmail worldwide and shipping costs $6 (added at checkout)

INITIS - Congestion of the Connective Tissues

 
$14.95
 
*

This is a reprint of the 1916 book by Dr Andrea Rabagliati of his book INITIS. Nutrition and Exercises.

The book is a delightful mix of the scientific and the esoteric, containing his unique viewpoints on the body and its many ailments. Rabagliati was of the opinion that many of the conditions that afflicted his patients had come about by a congestion of the body’s connective tissue and could be alleviated by changes in diet coupled with simple self-exercises involving massage and movement.  

His work is as valuable today as it was at the beginning of the 1900’s. Indeed we are now seeing the results of overeating in a population that is increasing beset with health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.

It is time once again to look at the probable causes of these conditions and take more than a leaf from Dr. Rabagliati’s book which is produced here in its original form with original photographs of his self-help exercises.
