about the book:

Treating Juvenile Scoliosis by the “Body Cognition” Method

Idiopathic Scoliosis is a pathology that develops in adolescence and expresses itself through a deviation of the body symmetry. It is not usually accompanied by pain in the ad

olescent years but there is concern that in the future there may be a deterioration in the deviation, which could possibly 

lead to the formation of deformities accompanied by constant pain.

 
The treatment afforded by ‘Body Logic’ in order to cope with the problem is unique and all-encompassing. It combines the understanding and knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, with the principles of movement. In addition, it draws the correct conclusions and offers beneficial means of intervention. Both the method and the treatment have been developed and designed by Josepha Michaeli, who is, herself, a physiotherapist and a teacher of physical education. Through her work in movement therapy with both groups and individuals, and by virtue of her deep understanding of the body in its normal and pathological state, she has been able to research the human body over a period of many years.
This book and the treatment offered here, deal with the subject of symmetry, which is the key to dealing with the problem. Scoliosis is a deviation from the median plane – the place that divides a body longitudinally into symmetrical halves – of the spinal column and the entire body; rectifying this situation is made possible only through the renewal of the sense of symmetry and by providing the tools for its restoration to the body, in practice.
 
Every Scoliosis case begins as an enigma for the therapist who, through consistent and resolute effort, must discover suitable ways to treat the problem. The cardinal aim in treatment is to strengthen the patient’s awareness of his problem, and from that point on, to teach him the methods and furnish him with the tools that will enable him to deal with his problem. In that way the patient becomes an active partner who uses both his mind and his body in the struggle for both improving his condition and avoiding deterioration in the future.
 
The treatment in the ‘Body Cognition’ system is sympathetic, pleasant and supportive. It combines both passive and active elements of contact and exercises, which in turn nourish each other. It is based on a deep understanding of the body and is suited to those who are ready and wish to persevere by investing thought and energy in order to take responsibility for their body and their health, as a way of life.

About

For many years, Ms. Michaeli has explored the body through movement-therapy work both in groups and individually, based on in-depth acquaintance with the body in its normal and pathological condition.

Following this investigation, she developed an innovative and systematic response to the physical problems which occur in the body, a method born out of a deep knowledge of the body in its healthy and pathological state.
