Book recommendations from a fellow Babe
Fellow Babe and sometimes contributor Pam has a few book ideas to share, on topics related to starting a family; understanding the nervous system and pain; and mindfulness and meditation.
Pam: Hi all, I wanted to share a few books I've been checking out, which some Babes may find useful.
First, tied to a past "Ask the Babe" question about having kids, my hubby and I are considering the pregnancy thing and my PT made me order a book called How to Raise Children Without Breaking Your Back by Alex Pirie and Hollis Herman, M.S., P.T., OCS. It is really amazing and has some great advice to check out before and during pregnancy for people who are prone to muscle pain. (Editrix's note: hard to find, but this site carries it for $20.)
The second is a book called Explain Pain by David Butler and Lorimer Moseley. This one does a really great job connecting the dots (or trigger points as the case may be) and describing the cycle of chronic pain. The book focuses mostly on the effects of pain on the central nervous system. Some cheesy cartoons and some AWESOME illustrations...
Finally, the third is a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn called Full Catastrophe Living. It's about pain/stress management through meditation (without the attachment of religion). I did a workshop with a local psychologist who said another Zinn book, Wherever I go There I Am, is a little more accessible, but I haven't checked it out yet. The meditation has been totally awesome though and I really don't know how I've made it this far without it!
There you have it! A few solid recomendations from a fellow Babe. If you have recommendations for books or other resources, please share! And thanks Pam!
