Golden Hands: The Lost Art of Hands-On Medicine — Ten Principles of Human Healing

Within the first minutes of examining a new patient, Dr. Alexander King has learned to hear what the body is trying to say. In Golden Hands , an osteopathic physician and medical acupuncturist reclaims a form of medicine modern healthcare has nearly forgotten: the art of healing through trained human touch.
Part memoir, part field guide, the book distills years of clinical practice into ten clear principles of human healing — the body as one connected system, and the roles of gravity, stress, sleep, nutrition, and environment in the pain you already feel but have never been able to name. Every chapter opens with a true clinical story and closes with a principle you can use.
If you have been told your labs are normal, your imaging is clean, and the problem is “all in your head” — you were right to keep asking. This book will teach you to hear what your body has been saying all along.
