True to its promise, this marvellous 340 page textbook is
devoted to the enlightenment and empowerment of patients’ suffering from some
eleven interconnected chronic neurological and allied disabilities. They range
from post-polio sequelae, the late effects of ME and fibro myalgia to multiple
sclerosis, Parkinsonism and other chronic pain and fatigue syndromes.
I first encountered Dr Bruno’s views on rehabilitation in
the mid 1980s and immediately advised my young patients to adopt a regime of
conserving energy and reducing stress, combined with simplification and
feasibility of this approach has resulted in long term stability for many
young people now working successfully into middle age.
Since that time, we have amassed a wonderful series of
ground breaking scientific papers by Dr Bruno’s team, which have in the book,
been successfully translated into common and often witty language for the
benefit of our expert patients and busy doctors. We are all learning and send
our thanks for this gift to the founder and staff of the Post Polio Institute
at the Englewood Hospital and Medical Centre, New Jersey, USA.
