You Can Heal Yourself: A Guide to Physical and Emotional Recovery After Injury or Illness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780312605803)

How to heal faster, better, and stronger during recovery from a serious illness or injury--a Harvard doctor's complete recovery plan

When people are seriously ill or injured, they receive immediate and often life-sustaining treatment. Then at some point they are usually left to their own devices to finish healing. At the time that patients are discharged from treatment or their doctors tell them, I don't have anything else I can offer you, they are often shifted into a zone where they are better than at their sickest point, but not as healthy as they once were. This zone, between illness and good health, is where rehabilitation specialists focus. Dr. Silver calls this area of medicine, where physiatrists work, The Healing Zone. This is the place where doctors are most concerned with physical and emotional healing after an injury
or illness.

Our bodies are amazing in their capacity to heal, however, people can be taught how to heal faster, better, and stronger, both physically and emotionally. You Can Heal Yourself offers the strategies needed to achieve optimal healing.
