Publisher's Synopsis
In this intelligent and enlightening book, based on 25 years of clinical experience, osteopath Nick Potter explains how our experience with pain is related to biological, psychological, and social factors. According to Potter, we must understand it as the means that our body has to indicate to us that something is wrong, but also as the consequence of aspects that go beyond the manifestations of our physical health. The meaning of pain presents a timely and convincing roadmap that shows us how to recognize what ails us in the psychological and social sphere, in addition to learning the best habits around our physical activity, sleep, posture, and way of breathing. The goal: to break the vicious cycle of stress, pain, and anxiety once and for all to achieve well-being.
