Yukido, the Art of Health Care through Touch

This book is a comprehensive manual of Yukid¿ care, providing critical and innovative reflection on the sensitive phenomena associated with touch and health.Drawing on over thirty years of collaborative work linking the Japanese medical art Noguchi Seitai, traditional bonesetting, as well as personal research, Yukid¿ adopts an approach that questions commonly held healing beliefs and prejudices to move beyond them."No one knows what the body can do." Yukid¿ takes Spinoza at his word, allowing the mind/body unity itself to indicate the most "adequate" response to its needs. The inclusion of detailed case studies - migraines, retractile capsulitis, pre-burnout, and restless legs syndrome - demonstrates how internal temperatures, consistencies, and movements function as the primary guides for the accompaniment gesture, complementing any ongoing medical care.This work presents a distinctive approach to the human body, weaving together science, philosophy, and embodied practice. It is addressed to healthcare professionals, manual therapists, and all those interested in cultivating a more intuitive and discerning relationship with the living body in its physical, mental, and emotional dimensions.Yukid¿ is a journey into the essence of sensitivity, wherein touch becomes language, listening, and art.¿¿¿ Based in the Var region of France, Andréine Bel leads cooperative self-learning workshops on health and Yukid¿. Her publications and current projects are available at .
