Description

Every individual who endures a spinal cord injury leaves the hospital thinking the same thing: "Now what?" There is no agreed-upon protocol, or even set of best-practices, for how to reconnect a paralyzed body. Drawing from movement disciplines not usually associated with paralysis recovery, the authors, Theo St. Francis and Stephanie Comella, apply the science of biotensegrity and the innate capacity of the body to heal itself to the challenge of neurological reconnection. With fully-illustrated exercise descriptions, this clinical perspective is written for both those recovering from spinal cord injury and for their movement trainers. From the Ground Up is an in-depth exploration of how to claim ownership of the recovery journey, both inside and out.
