Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment.

Author: Guest Well, as the title says i like it...just wish i understood more of it...because it can get a bit technical to a layman...
but on the whole, i think it is a worthy investment for those interested in making the body a better place
Author: Guest This book is more for those who already have a working knowledge of the field of spinal manipulation. I was very disappointed within minutes of opening the cover. I thought "Made Simple" meant just that!

Author: Guest Dr Oakley Smith developed the science of Naprathy over 100 years ago. The information and techniques sounds a lot like NAPRAPATHY. There is a National College in Chicago that teaches this science.
