• This book answered questions I didn't know I had, and showed me where a great deal of my day to day knowledge originated.
  I am a clinical massage therapist in Seattle, WA.

  I was very gladly surprised when I saw how well Rolf writes, as I was expecting the originator of Structural Integration therapy to use a "heavy" language, like F.M.

Read this book to understand how structure effects function, and function effects health.

This book will help yoga teachers identify the bony landmarks on the body to help brighten a student's... more info
