Book Reviews of Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft Tissue Techniques
Book Review: Worth the effort to understand it
Summary: 4 Stars
In response to thor's review: I found the techniques described being no more dangerous than giving a back massage.
I found this thoughtfully written book to pose no danger in applying the techniques, which are not at all forceful. No popping and such, rather, this book describes techniques that address the soft tissue that holds the spine out of alignment.
After a few months of regularly applying these simple and safe techniques, I helped my wife become free of the ever present back pain she had for years. For me, untrained in physiology, it took careful study to understand what the author is saying, and then continued careful application and rereading to learn how to recognize and feel the subtle visual and tactile cues he describes, but the effort paid off for me, and it has worked wonderfully for my wife. I'd give it five stars if it came with a glossary and more diagrams (which, without, required my doing some researching on the internet and in the dictionary so I could understand his technical language).
Once I understood the techniques, it was indeed very simple. It just took me some very worthwhile effort to get to that point.
Summary of Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft Tissue Techniques
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.Healing Books
