Críticas:

"Theodore Dimon's introduction of the concept of tensegrity adds a whole new perspective on how the body works. It expands my understanding of the moving body as a holistic system."--Jean E. Sealey, DSc, Professor Emeritus of Medicine in physiology and biophysics, Weill Medical College at Cornell University

"Theodore Dimon's work has given me the means to live more mindfully and function more constructively in everything I do, from the most banal activity to the most challenging physical and intellectual pursuits. Neurodynamics is not simply a book, it's a lifestyle."--Serena Woolf, student and teacher of neurodynamics

Reseña del editor:

Neurodynamics combines the latest discoveries in science, anatomy, and mindfulness to form a new understanding of human awareness in action. What good does it do to stretch, relax, or strengthen muscles if we don't know how these muscles are actually designed to function? To be sound, any physical therapy method must be based on scientific knowledge of how the musculoskeletal system works, on the role of proprioception in gaining awareness and control over this system, and on the process of becoming more conscious in action. Written for both beginning and advanced students, the book offers in-depth explanations of the theory of neurodynamics together with illustrations outlining steps of development and practical exercises.

Over 100 years ago, F. Matthias Alexander made a series of discoveries about how the body works in action that made it possible for the first time to become conscious of what we're doing in activity. InNeurodynamics, author Theodore Dimon, who has taught and written about Alexander's work for many years, seeks to put together a coherent theory and curriculum for the Alexander Technique and explain how this system works in scientific terms.Neurodynamics develops and expands on Alexander's teachings and gives practical explanations that form the basis not just for a method but for a truly educational theory of how the mind and body work in action.
