Karrasch, a deep tissue massage therapist who teaches CORE bodywork skills, offers a guide to help readers manage their journey of surgery and recovery, or prevent surgery, drawing on bodymindCORE techniques. He incorporates anecdotes and research to show readers how to take care of themselves, assume responsibility, get good advice, make their own decisions, and pay attention to their process to avoid surgery or be prepared if one is needed. He discusses the need to slow down a hectic and unhealthy lifestyle, pay attention to the body and mind, and take responsibility for one's health, as well as major components or qualities of successful living based on a model of body centers that need to be in balance. He also addresses the importance of movement and provides movement exercises, and details positive actions to prevent surgery, prepare for an upcoming surgery, or rebuild and rehabilitate after a surgery.
