A warm welcome to my website |
updated: August 2011 |
Welcome to my website, particularly if this is your first visit.
For those returning there have been a few changes, particularly:
- Details of a new coauthored book Chronic Pelvic Pain and Dysfunction: Practical Physical Medicine (with Ruth Lovegrove Jones)
- Details of the new 2nd edition of Clinical Applications of Neuromuscular Techniques (Volume 2 Lower Body) - coauthored with Judith DeLany and A Massage Therapists Guide to management of Pain -including DVD (coauthored with Sandy Fritz)
You will also find that there have been changes and additions to the Research & Articles section, as well as to the News & Events pages.
We have also added a page that focuses on the creation of a new educational initiative (The Phoenix Rising Academy), directed by my daughter Sasha Chaitow MA PhD(c).
From that new page you can download a pdf document that describes the Academy's ethos, courses and plans (commencing early next year), for both on-line and on-site studies of both Western Esoteric topics, as well as a variety of introductory and advanced Creative Arts subjects.
Courses will be taught to a high standard, by a faculty of approximately 20 talented academics, from around the world.
Greater detail can be found on the Academy's website www.phoenixrising.org.gr
I have also posted new photographs on the Contact me – and snaps page.
Whether this is your first, or a return, visit - please take your time to explore the various sections and to click on individual book titles to visit pages devoted to more detail of each of these.
There are various choices you can make if you wish to explore the content of the site, which I hope you will.
On this home page, below this welcome message, there are cover pictures of those of my books currently in print.
Next to each book cover is a link to more information about that book, and details of how the book can be purchased either from within the USA (through either Amazon or Elsevier) or from the UK/Europe/Rest of the World (through Amazon).
The button bar on the left of this Home page offers links to the individual book pages, as well as to other pages on which I have posted research data, or information regarding upcoming conferences and events, as well as background information on these.
There is also a short biographical interview, and a link to the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies page.
The content of the site will change periodically as regular updates are made, and, as new books are published, or old ones revised, additional pages will be added, and old ones modified.
The books have been separated into those more suitable for health care professionals, and those designed and written for the general public, as well as some titles that are suitable for both groups!. For example Maintaining Body Balance, Flexibility and Stability (2004) is a self-help title, that for best results is designed to be used in collaboration with a manual therapist/practitioner.
A number of my out-of-print titles from the 1990s have recently been republished in India for the Asian market. Details of how these can be purchased on-line, or in person, can be found on the Titles published by HarperCollins (India) page. From time to time second hand copies of these titles may be available on Amazon, so it's worth searching Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk for these, by title, not by the ISBN numbers provided, as these only apply to the new Indian publications which Amazon do not sell
You will also find details of how to make contact with me should you have queries or suggestions.
Please use this 'contact' page to send any ideas you may have for improving the content of the site, but please note that I cannot provide individual advice, or answer questions regarding health care.
The purpose of the site is to promote health information and education, but not to provide specific advice, which can, in my opinion, only be responsibly offered in a traditional setting, where a health care provider is able to fully evaluate an individual's history and current condition. I look forward to hearing from you.
Statement of clarification:
In the USA the qualification ‘D.O.’ indicates that the holder is an osteopathic physician. In the UK the legally protected title ‘osteopath’, signified by the letters D.O., does not have the same meaning.
I trained as a naturopath and osteopath in the UK (1956-1960), and the letters following my name (N.D., D.O.), and my Honorary Fellowship from the University of Westminster (2005), should not be used to suggest that I am anything other than a UK trained naturopathic and osteopathic practitioner (Registration#1/201/F. General Osteopathic Council).
I share this information in the interest of accuracy and transparency about my credentials. I cannot control misattributions that occur on other websites or in print media, but I hope that responsible parties will use care when they refer to me or my work. Leon Chaitow N.D., D.O.
