BOOK REVIEW
Black Belt Healing: A Martial Artist’s Guide to Pain Management & Injury Recovery by David Nelson, PhD.
EDITORS NOTE: I have one great regret about reading this book... that I did not have it over 30 years ago when I first began learning martial arts. I am so impressed with the insight and usefulness of this book that I have added it to the Required Reading List for our Black Belt candidates at my martial arts school.
Below is some information from the www.blackbelthealing.com website. My only additional comment about this book is: BUY IT! You can thank me later.
ON PAIN MANAGEMENT & INJURY RECOVERY
Pain can be one of the most devastating experiences a martial artist will ever go through, both physically and emotionally. It robs you of training time and fills you with uncertainty about your life and your ability to ever train again. As difficult as this time can be,
your best strategy is to educate yourself and approach your pain with well-informed information and preparation.
In this essential guide for anyone suffering from long-term chronic pain, martial artist and psychotherapist, Dr. David Nelson, shares his years of experience working with martial artists, and non-martial artists, in conquering pain. Filled with the information you need to harness the power of your mind, Dr. Nelson has taken proven mind-body healing strategies, simplified them with easy-to-use metaphors and action plans and made them available in this step-by-step guide.
HOW BLACK BELT HEALING CAN HELP YOU
Knowledge of mind-power based on martial art metaphors and strategies can make a world of difference in your recovery. You will learn:
• How your mind is your dojo equipped with all the weapons you need to conquer pain
• The ability to stop pain quickly with simple and easy techniques
• The amount of time you need to devote to your recovery
• The natural weapons your mind has to conquer pain
• The difference between pain and suffering
Many martial artists find out too late that they could have gotten back into the studio faster and stronger if they had better information about pain management. So, it’s in your best interest to prepare well and apply sound healing strategies early in the process. Avoid costly mistakes and take charge of your recovery.
Healing isn’t rocket science, but you do need guidance. Black Belt Healing is your manual for success…not only for healing, but for seeing the possibilities your mind has to offer for peak performance, health and staying strong in the martial arts.
This book will not replace your physician, chiropractor or herbalist, but provide valuable information you can bring to them to enhance overall healing and get you quickly back into the dojo…and that’s what it is all about, right? Dojo Time!
