Warning!

You are about to enter a page that describes series of movements that you can do on your own.

Recovering flexibility and full use of the body is like unravelling a tangle of knots. When trying to release a single thread, you gain nothing by forceful pulling. Blind obedience to prescribed exercise without creative exploration will only leave you in an endless struggle.

When you are not attentive to your own inner signals, you are as a person lost in the dark.

Once you are able to listen to the inner sensations of your organism, you can actually begin your own process of healing.
