Power over Pain

It can disrupt every part of how you live. But pain is not predestined.The usual trajectory of modern healthcare-a labyrinth of appointments that too often ends in pills or surgery-is not working. It's confusing, costly, and time-consuming. It's disempowering. And the challenges only amplify as we age. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to accept the myth that pain is an inevitable consequence of aging. You can reclaim power over your health and performance by learning how to care for your fascia system-the connective tissue throughout your body that encases and connects your muscles, organs, bones, nerves, and joints. As Western medicine is just now waking up to the benefits of caring for your fascia, Eastern medical traditions have long understood the importance of the body's "energy lines" to physical and mental well-being-known as nadi lines in Ayurvedic medicine and chi lines in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Modern research shows that these energy pathways closely mirror the bands of fascia that run through the human body. Fascia is now being recognized as the body's "new organ" which plays a central role in pain, movement, stress, disease, and long-term resilience. In Power Over Pain, Sytera Field, a body mechanics and movement expert, introduces her fascia-based system for stress reduction, pain relief, and mobility: The Nadi Method. For more than 25 years, Field has helped thousands of people-from elite athletes to high-powered executives-learn how to communicate with their nervous system by working with their fascia. Through fascia fitness, you can take back control. You can, at any age, grow stronger, recover faster, and improve performance and longevity-on your terms.
