This book proposes that health care is not just about physical abilities but mental
and spiritual beliefs as well. The author argues for a more complex understanding of
the psycho-physiological connection and advocates for a more holistic approach that may presently be perceived as a radical way to think about the practice of exercise
and exercise physiology as a profession.

Reviews

From the Foreword
“This is a book for exercise physiologists who dream of being healthcare professionals. It contains the understanding that clients/patients are more than just physical entities. There isn’t any question that it is a major departure from exercise physiology as a research discipline, yet it is the right path for growth within the profession. This is the strength of this book. . . It represents a remarkable insight into what it means to be a healthcare professional. ”
