Assessment and Treatment Methods for Manual Therapists

This clearly written book features a wide spectrum of practical assessments and different techniques for treatment, because one size doesn't fit all. That it also includes a healthy respect for the history, origins, and science underpinning these approaches makes it a welcome addition.--David Lesondak, author Fascia: What it is and Why it Matters, 2nd edn, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Jeffrey Burch has managed to present the material with impressive clarity. Reading the book is effortless and the descriptions of the different techniques are very easy to follow.--Ales Urbanczik, President of the European Guild for Structural Integration, www.rolfguild.eu I waited years for this book. I recommend it to all of my students and colleagues. Great bodyworkers know how to determine where to put their hands, what to do when they get there and when to quit. Assessment methods, treatment tools and completion signs form the foundation of what we do. Yet, hardly anyone teaches these skills in an organized, accessible fashion - until now. Great teachers are generous with their knowledge and wisdom. Elegantly simple and amazingly comprehensive, Jeffrey Burch's book provides the means for bodyworkers to go beyond the recipe-driven rut in which many of us find ourselves. Thank you, Jeffrey. --Carol Gray, LMT, CST, RPYT, Founder and Owner of The Carol Gray Center for CST Studies
