Unlock dormant vitality through the Neurofascial Process, releasing trauma stored deep within the body's tissues.
Sharon Giammatteo introduces the Neurofascial Process, a tactile method designed to revive life in areas of the body numbed by shock or trauma. By applying calculated pressure and releasing emotional and physical tension, readers can address a wide spectrum of ailments, from acute fractures to chronic strain. The text is supported by extensive illustrations, guiding you through simple yet profound steps to achieve optimal health and self-healing without complex equipment.
This text sits at the intersection of New Age holistic health and somatic psychology, reflecting the late twentieth-century trend of integrating Eastern mind-body concepts with Western therapeutic practices. It aligns with the occult-philosophy shelf's interest in practical metaphysics and the belief that spiritual or energetic blockages manifest physically.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Well worth it.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Good, with the caveats above.
Giammatteo provides a clear, illustrated guide to the Neurofascial Process, appealing to those who prefer concrete actions over abstract theory. However, this book does not suit readers seeking rigorous scientific validation or evidence-based clinical data; it relies entirely on the premise of stored emotional trauma within tissues, which may feel unconvincing to skeptics of somatic therapy. It is also ill-suited for those looking for quick pharmaceutical fixes or complex surgical interventions. The tone is reassuring but assumes a willingness to engage deeply with personal history through physical touch, which may be too intimate or intense for some audiences.
