It explains ways that running has helped others strive and be successful in healing, whether it is physically or mentally. I found myself laughing, crying and thinking, "Hmm... I need to do this!" It's empowering and makes you want to RUN like there is no tomorrow. The best part is it makes you want to create a bond with strangers, who become family. Read the book, and you, too, will want to heal by running." -- Kim Turner, Aircraft mechanic III-gen-mods "Jennifer Bonn writes an extremely helpful, energetic and therapeutic book on the challenges and rewards of running. The stories and examples, shared by the runners - with perfect notes about their journeys - will help both beginners and seasoned runners; Bonn's own running experiences alone are worth the read. She finds easy ways to explain how running can become addictive and life-changing. I'll become a healthier person, and possibly a better runner, just by reading it. The tips, guidance and instructions are what most of us could use in life, and it can be applied anywhere." -- Hal Cottingham, Director of operations, Global Technology Services "The Healing Power of Running is a very educational and enjoyable read.

This is an inspirational book that will motivate any reader to be the best version of him/herself and informs beginners the things they need to jumpstart running in a safe manner. Anyone who runs, or wants to start, will find something to enjoy about this book." -- Lucy Kirby, Librarian From Loving Healing Press

Whole Body Barefoot -...

Katy Bowman

For runners, walkers, and improved everyday mobility

The shoes you put on everyday can play a bigger role in the function of your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine than you might realize.

Biomechanist and author of Simple Steps to Foot Pain Relief, Katy Bowman offers walkers, runners, and health professionals alike clear, accessible lessons on how the shape of shoes can play a role in painful feet, knees, and hips―and what to do about it.

When we have painful feet and weak ankles it seems like stiff, supportive shoes are the answer, but this solution can be temporary, especially if our issues stem from foot and leg weakness. In short, humans come with great “foot technology”; we just need to learn how to use it.

Barefoot is natural, but research shows simply kicking off our shoes and releasing our feet into the wild can result in injury. Whole Body Barefoot will help you safely and effectively transition to minimal footwear, reaping the enormous benefits of freeing your feet without injuring yourself along the way.

Whole Body Barefoot presents:
25 exercises to create strong, supple, feel-better feetThe mechanics of bunions and pronationHow to strengthen weak ankles and archesHow to figure out your true shoe-sizeThe importance of walking on natural surfaces―“Vitamin Texture”

With clear, science-based explanations, Bowman lays out how conventional shoes and artificial environments leave us with sedentary feet. Take the first steps to naturally restore lost foot function, and improve health, today! PDF supplement included.
