Educational Materials
Hellerwork practitioners and Hellerwork International have produced a number of educational and self-help materials based on Hellerwork principles.
"Bodywise" by Joseph Heller
Bodywise is based on Joseph Heller's own brand of deep-tissue bodywork, which makes the connection between life issues and natural bodily alignment, and shows how to restore the body's natural balance. The book teaches readers how to regain control and become a full-time owner of their bodies. Part One explains the way the body works, in everyday life as well as in the structures of consciousness. Part Two takes the reader on a guided tour of the Hellerwork experience.
The purpose of this book is to explain something of the way all human bodies function in order to give you a greater ability to feel alive in your own body; to have more pleasure and fewer problems with it; and to explore its interconnections with other parts of the universe, beginning with your own multifaceted self. Whether you are a physician, a physiotherapist, a body worker, a nurse, an athlete, a dancer, a person suffering from muscular or skeletal pain, tension, stress, and discomfort, or simply someone who wants to live easily and gracefully in the physical world, you will find that the body's inherent flexibility fairly begs you to live a life of ease, balance, and integrity — that doing so is possible.
