Eavesdropping on the Matrix: Mechanical Link, and What Understanding Fascia Can Teach Us About Health and Pain (Unabridged‪)‬

Why is chronic pain so hard to solve? Patients and doctors are still searching for the best drug, the most effective surgery, the best treatments — to manage, not solve this overwhelming health crisis. With a wider view and better skills, this suffering could be eliminated for many.

Looking through the lens of the fascial system Nancy Crooks, bodywork therapist, is able to improve or resolve 9 out of 10 peoples’ chronic pain within a few gentle treatments using only her hands and a light touch, with results that are long-lasting.

Using Mechanical Link, a technique learned from French osteopaths Paul Chauffour and Eric Prat, she has adapted it to her own abilities.

This treatment has intrigued and mystified its recipients. From ‘How can that possibly do anything?' to 'Woah, I feel really different and better!’ In this book, Nancy explains her training and the development of her skill, her observations of how our bodies arrange themselves to accommodate our accumulated injuries — and how she finds those old injuries, especially the ones so old that they are lost to memory.

It contains numerous patient stories, exercises to explore your own fascial system and educate your own sense of touch.
