About this title

Synopsis

In "Walk Yourself Well", registered physical therapist Sherry Brourman teaches readers how to permanently free themselves from structural pain by targeting its cause. Learning to walk correctly by using the body's natural motions is the key to restoring proper alignment and allowing the body to heal and remove pain by itself.

Reviews

Anyone who has ever had a leg injury and subsequent pain in the other leg from an altered gait will agree with Brourman's assertion that incorrect movement while walking can lead to physical pain. As a registered physical therapist, Brourman has helped patients avoid surgery through exercises to improve muscle strength, posture, and movement. She explains how unbalanced walking leads to pain and what correct movement can achieve for a person who has experienced an orthopedic injury. She offers self-evaluation tests, gait correction methods, and strengthening and stretching exercises and uses case studies of her own patients as examples. Although there is some useful information here, physical therapists will justifiably advise that people with existing problems be under the supervision of a registered therapist; Brourman's instructions for the exercises are not easy to follow, and it could be dangerous for a patient to do a self-correction without guidance. Not a necessary purchase.?Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp., Tampa, Fla.
