For many years, scientists believed that the structure of our brain is as we inherited it and does not change. We now know that our brain has the ability to reorganize itself through new neural synapses.
The elasticity and adaptability of the brain is called neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the key to our evolution but also an area of Neuroscience with great interest. According to neuroscientists, focusing our attention on bodily pain makes that pain more perceptible as the corresponding neural networks are activated. However, if our attention is diverted from the pain, then the activation of different neural networks causes a reduction of the pain or sometimes even its disappearance.
These and many other findings, as well as the principles to regulate such conditions, constitute important knowledge for a therapist who wants to see their patient in a more holistic way. The introduction of Psychosomatic management into therapeutic protocols, even for simple musculoskeletal problems, is the new "weapon" in the hands of therapists.
Psychosomatic Intelligence is the printed embodiment of experiential seminars conducted by Leonidas Kastrinakis. Mr. Kastrinakis is a Physiotherapist (TEI Lamia), Chiropractor, and founder of Health & Success Academy. He has been trained in the science of Human Behavior in Australia (Demartini Institute) and has participated in research programs in Behavioral Neurosciences (Deakin University - University of Melbourne).
Psychosomatic Intelligence is a book for the therapist, the patient, the person.
