An advanced introduction to the field of structural bodywork which
focusses on the issues of postural and functional dysfunction. The
text builds on the theories of Ida Rolf (Rolfing) and Feldenkrais
and reviews them in the broader context of massage therapy and
other complementary therapies based on bodywork techniques
including chiropractic. The book is in 3 main parts. Part 1 looks
at the background of structural bodywork and how it has developed
before defining it as it is understood today. Part 2 looks at the
theory of structural body work in more depth and relates it to
human anatomy and clinical presentations. It draws together various
strands of theory and practice which have not been considered
together before but are all related to bodywork practice. Part 3 is
a major part of the book and is a practical guide to structural
bodywork techniques. This latter section is highly illustrated with
photographs and line drawings. Content is highly readable,
academically sound, and grounded firmly in bodywork practice.
Previously unrelated theories are discussed and applied to
practice. The well-known theories of Rolf and Feldenkrais are
reviewed. A comprehensive practical manual section provides
numerous techniques and models for a variety of musculoskeletal
skeletal problems. Numerous illustrations provide a better
understanding of text content.
