It seems to sum up some very important facts that you just don’t learn about in your ‘schooling years’. I think only years of clinical and top level treatment teams could pass this on!Soft Tissue Therapist James Barker Canberra I have seen several books on this topic over the last 17 years, but none as comprehensive as this. Most useful summaries of treatment techniques for effective patient treatment and minimisation of undue stress upon the therapist.Of course your techniques work for me, as I have been using them since my first course with you around 14 years ago and I have been able to pass on your good advice to several other therapists over the years.Your book goes well beyond the purely mechanical aspects of caring for ourselves, as indeed we need to go beyond being just body mechanics by creating confidence in our patients by our whole approach to our learning and to individual patient care. Such aspects are also well addressed in your book. Soft Tissue Therapist Graeme Mills Melbourne Just read your e book …..Congratulations! I found chapter 3 regarding thoracic, elbow and scapula posture particularly helpful. I’m always fine tuning my treatment posture and it was great to have some clearly stated angles to stabilise the glenohumeral joint that I can now work with.You also nailed chapter 2 in outlining the importance of establishing a strong belief and value in your profession. This is the most important factor for me as I believe if you hold your profession in high regard the rest (ie. satisfaction, success, motivation) can only but follow.I could go on but there are too many little gems in the book to mention. I hope that this is the first of many more books, the way in which you write is really informative but also really inspiring, motivating and uplifting.
