Healing With Motion: The Role of Movement in Rehabilitating Body and Mind

What if movement wasn't something you returned to after healing... but the very way healing happens?

Healing With Motion is an empowering guide for anyone navigating recovery - from sports injuries and surgery to chronic pain and burnout. Written by experienced osteopath and coach Simon Tolson, this book blends cutting-edge pain science, behavioural psychology, and movement education into a readable, compassionate roadmap back to trust in your body.

Through real-life stories, practical tools, and clear guidance, you'll discover:

• Why pain isn't always a sign of damage - and how to decode what your body's really saying.
• How trauma, emotion, and posture are deeply connected - and how movement can help release them.
• How to avoid the "boom-bust" cycle of overdoing and underdoing.
• Why micro-wins, breath-led routines, and awareness-based exercises rebuild both body and mindset.
• What it means to live not just as a recovered body - but as a healing one.

Whether you're a professional, a midlife mover, or simply someone ready to reconnect with their physical self, Healing With Motion will help you turn recovery into rediscovery - and rediscovery into a lifelong relationship with motion that supports resilience, energy, and self-respect.

You don't need perfect health to begin.

You just need to begin - gently, wisely, and with presence.
