Possibly the most famous and widely used resource in therapeutic
bodywork, this beautifully written, detailed and reader-friendly picture
of how and why the body responds to touch is both scientifically
reliable and inspiring. Furthering the presentation of recent research
in biochemistry, cell biology and energy medicine in the Second Edition,
this new and greatly expanded edition includes advances in
neurophysiology and physics, reconfiguring knowledge of mind and body,
from microgenesis to quantum consciousness. A rare book, required
reading for national massage therapy certification, that also serves the
general reader.
