Written for those who have undergone or who are about to have surgery, this guide will help readers find their way through the difficult maze of emotions, physical pain and fear. By including advice on what to do to aid recovery and reduce negative long-term effects, Karrasch teaches the reader how to take charge of the body, whether before or after surgery.
 
The book also includes useful information about what we can do to take care of our bodies and avoid having surgery in the first place, such as nutritional advice and gentle movement tips drawing on BodyMindCORE techniques. It is the perfect guide for those not only facing surgery and those wanting to stay healthy, but also for those who want to love and support them.

Years ago I worked with an orthopedic surgeon who told me, 'There is no condition so bad that surgery cannot make it worse."" I did not know it at the time, but that wisdom would guide me through a long career in physical therapy.

Noah's book nicely explains that surgeon's advice.

Find the right exercises and the right peace of mind.

No matter your diagnosis, no matter your pain, if you want to understand how to best take care of your body, you need to read this book.
