Reinventing the Wheel: Self Healing for Spinal Cord Injuries

Reinventing the Wheel: Self-healing for Spinal Cord Injuries is a must read for not only injured individuals, but also their families and caregivers. This richly innovative book challenges several common assumptions about spinal cord injuries and about the people who have them. It encourages readers to break through old mindsets and consider the possibility of achieving what was once considered unattainable. Distilled from thousands of pages of medical journals, informal testimonials of healers and spinal cord injured clients, and the author’s own first-hand experience, a clear message emerges: It is no longer accurate nor humane to predict the lack of recovery of either sensation or movement based on the injury itself. Unique in its scope and presentation, Reinventing the Wheel is engaging, empowering and well-researched. It offers the reader a sense of choice, optimism and the autonomy to do what feels right and authentic. From the back: “This book presents many possibilities for traversing the journey of spinal cord injury. . . . Everyone creates their own reality.” “Throughout years of injury to my own spinal column I have never been able to find a place that can answer so many questions and tell me where I could find help to reclaim movements and functions of my body through using the directions that are in this book.” “A refreshing look at life with a spinal cord injury and the possibilities of healing—not just the physical body, but healing the soul that tends to get damaged along the way.” “The writing, filled with deep wisdom, sheds light on a new perspective of healing. Speaking on a truly human heart level like nothing else I have come across in the SCI world of information.”
