What if everything you thought you knew about the body... was only part of the story?
Alive and Kicking
invites you to reimagine the human body-not as a machine made of parts, but as a
living, sensing, intelligent matrix
. In this deeply engaging and thought-provoking book, integrative clinical anatomist
Sue Adstrum
challenges conventional views of
anatomy, physiotherapy, and healthcare
, blending
science, somatics, and fascia research
to offer a more connected, compassionate path to wellness.
Drawing on decades of clinical practice, academic research, and bodywork, Sue introduces the
fascial system
-a vital but often overlooked tissue network that impacts how we move, heal, and feel. Along the way, she weaves in insights from
energy medicine
,
mind-body awareness
, and
preventive self-care
, offering readers practical ways to reclaim agency in an overstretched system.
Whether you're a
curious reader
wellness practitioner
, or simply someone seeking a more empowering way to care for your body,
offers a
whole-person perspective
-scientific, soulful, and fascia-aware.
Warm, wise, and accessible
, this book is a call to rethink the body-and reclaim your health-from the inside out.
