How This Inspiring Story and Practical Guide Can Help You Move Through Pain
At the start of her healing journey, author Mary Ruth Velicki was a scientifically-minded physical therapist and university instructor. In this book, she combines her professional and personal experiences to describe treatments for interstitial cystitis and pelvic floor dysfunction, the neurological contributions to pain, and how to communicate with caregivers and self-manage your treatment. She also shares the wisdom of the many skilled and experienced professionals from whom she received care. Learn about Complementary Treatments from a Skeptical Clinician
In a straightforward way, Mary Ruth describes many different healing modalities and her personal experiences with them. In addition to Western-medicine treatments, she also covers complementary treatments, including yoga, meditation, acupuncture, energy-work (Reiki), and two forms of holistic bodywork, CranioSacral Therapy and Myofascial Release. Tap Into the Healing Power of Your Natural Body-Mind-Spirit Connection
In this book, Mary Ruth describes how she discovered the connection between her body, mind, and spirit and how she began working on all levels to restore her health. She demonstrates how to engage in self-introspection to uncover constricting mind-body patterns that may contribute to a ramp-up of the nervous system and the continuation of pain. Reading her story can help open up your awareness of these possible connections and give you many ways to feel better. Find Support and Hope in Your Healing Journey
Mary Ruth shares her full healing journey with you in an open and honest way. Many readers have told her that she's written their story and that reading her book helped them not feel so alone in their struggle. Learning how she moved through the pain also gave them hope that it is possible to feel better. And hope itself is a powerful healing agent.
