Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks
Through more than 20 years of helping people get in touch with their feelings and reawaken their lives, renowned psychotherapists Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks have developed a new approach that is as revolutionary as the work of Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls or Abraham Maslow a generation ago. The Hendricks Method of Bodymind Integration offers a powerful alternative to traditional talk therapies - a faster, more far-reaching route to personal change that can bring results after as few as two or three sessions. This book shows how to work with breathing and movement - to heal the split between thinking and feeling that keeps so many of us strangers to ourselves. “The inner intelligence of the body is the ultimate and supreme genius. It mirrors the wisdom of the universe. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks show how to connect with this intelligence and discover the secrets to healing, love, intuition and insight.” - Deepak Chopra.

Donald Van Howten
Van Howten teaches bodywork at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque in New Mexico. He teaches that we all have holding patterns that are habitual, so that they leave an historical imprint on the membranes of the body. These membranes store our actions, experiences, emotions, and beliefs. They in turn represent our impressions of life in a "hard copy" of flesh. This book takes the Eastern wisdom of Ayurveda and combines it with a version of the Western medical model to create a powerful new recipe for healing the mind, the emotions and the body.

Donna & Steven Finando
Myofascial pain syndromes are among the fastest growing problems that physicians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, and physical, occupational, and massage therapists encounter in their patients. In Trigger Point Therapy For Myofascial Pain, Donna and Steven Finando have organized vast amounts of information on treating myofascial pain into an accessible "user's manual" for healthcare practitioners. They examine a wide range of pain patterns and present evaluation and palpation techniques for reducing trigger points - and thereby alleviating pain - in the most clinically significant musculature of the body. This comprehensive yet easy-to-use reference guide to treatment of muscle pain begins with chapters on the concept of Qi and its relationship to myology, specific trigger point location and activation, and palpatory skill-building techniques. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on each muscle to teach clinicians to locate quickly and accurately individual points of pain and compensation. A visual index allows easy identification of the muscles that may be involved.
