better and/or achieve a greater integration of body, mind, and spirit.

Whether the reader is a longtime bodywork enthusiast or someone who has little or no experience with massage, Bodywork is the essential guide, answering all of the key questions about every different kind of major bodywork therapy, including:
  • Alexander Technique

  • Aromatherapy

  • Feldenkrais Method

  • Myofascial Release

  • Reflexology

  • Reiki

  • Shiatsu

  • Swedish Massage

  • Therapeutic Touch

  • Trager Approach

Author and leading massage therapist Thomas Claire takes readers through a typical session of more than fifteen therapies and outlines the health and relaxation benefits of each. He explains what each type of bodywork actually feels like and provides helpful hints for choosing a practitioner.

“Bodywork is definitely ‘The Bible’ of our time in the field of bodywork. I highly recommend this book for the layman and the professional.” —Ohashi

“[Bodywork] goes further than so many other competent, useful books on the subject. . . . An intimate, personal, friendly—and therefore truly helpful—kind of ‘hands-on’ guide.”—Massage Therapy Journal
