An extensive discussion of anatomy and physiology from a structural integration perspective. This book does not describe how to perform a rolfing session, nor does it discuss the ten series recipe. It is not a "how to" book but a "why to" book. Even though it is more than 40 years old, it is very worthwhile reading for any bodyworker with any kind of clinical inclination.
