This book will be re-released under a new title in early 2019. Sarah St. Pierre suffered from two debilitating back injuries during her years as a ballet dancer. After quitting dance, she learned about the work of Thomas Hanna and his technique of Clinical Somatic Education. St. Pierre discovered that her injuries, as well as the residual tightness and pain she was experiencing, were caused by deeply learned muscular patterns. Hanna had developed a method of neuromuscular education which retrained these damaging muscular patterns. Within weeks of practicing Hanna's techniques, St. Pierre felt like she had a brand-new body. The myth that our bodies will inevitably break down and that we must experience pain as we age is so ingrained in our belief system that few people stop to wonder why this breakdown occurs and if it might be avoidable. Clinical Somatic Education stands out among therapeutic modalities and pain relief techniques because it addresses the underlying cause of most musculoskeletal pain and degeneration. In Why We're in Pain, St. Pierre explains the learning process by which we develop habitual muscular patterns, and how these muscular patterns lead to pain and physical degeneration. She then describes how a series of somatic educators discovered how to work with the nervous system to change these deeply learned muscular patterns. Lastly, St. Pierre explains the process by which Clinical Somatic Education re-educates the nervous system, relieving pain and restoring function. With such an effective technique available, it is simply not acceptable for people to believe that they have no control over their pain. Why We're in Pain gives hope to millions of pain sufferers, letting them know that they have the ability to relieve and eliminate their own pain through a gentle process of re-educating the nervous system.
