Rolfing: Reestablishing the Natural Alignment
and Structural Integration of the Human Body for Vitality and
Well-Being
Ida P. Rolf
This seminal work
made its debut in 1977, and it has since remained the most
important reference for Rolfers around the world. In this new
edition, the late Dr. Rolf illustrates her theory and practice
of Structural Integration, which brings the body into alignment
and balance by manipulation of the connective tissue. Rolfing
has helped thousands of people to stand taller, look better,
move with greater ease, and have a greater sense of vitality
and well-being.
This is the original and classic text, with more than 600
illustrations and photographs.

Rolfing Structural Integration What It
Achieves, How It Works and Whom It Helps
Hans
Georg Brecklinghaus
Hans Georg Brecklinghaus is a Certified Advanced Rolfer and
Rolf Movement Practitioner. He practices since 1983 and has
written various essays for professional journals.
The Rolfing method of Structural Integration reorganizes and
improves body-structures through connective tissue manipulation
and movement education. When human body-structure is aligned
with gravity, posture will improve and movement will become
easier and more fluid.

The
Thai Massage Manual: Natural Therapy for Flexibility,
Relaxation and Energy Balance
Maria
Mercati
Explore the powerful secrets of Thai massage--a vigorous
technique that will enhance your health, happiness, and
wholeness, and create a fresh, stimulating, giving-receiving
relationship between you and your partner.
Like other forms of
massage, you employ a flowing sequence of stretches, but
instead of using only your fingers, pressure is applied with
thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, and feet. It has been called
"yoga in action," with its emphasis on relaxing your
mind, restoring your energy, and conditioning your body.
Full-color
photographs of every move match still shots with superimposed
artwork that indicates the directions of the movements you
make. Each technique is clearly explained and its benefits
detailed. More than most massage techniques, Thai massage
enhances the bond between partners, with its unity of mind and
body, and its harmony of body and body.
