DESCRIPTION:

Louis Schultz“R. Ida P. Rolf, and Joseph Pilates, R. It has helped many men come to terms with their genitals, thereby allowing them to gain confidence and achieve greater sexual enjoyment. His pioneering work is an investigative exploration into avenues of change and resolution.” —Neal Powers, teacher of the Rolf Method of

Practical, informative, fascinating Robert Elgie This is a superb book. It is written particularly for Rolfers, but is essential reading for any other body worker as well. Since studying this book on my own, I have become much more confident doing pelvic massage with male clients. Having detailed knowledge of the underlying structures allows me to explain to men what I'm doing and why. Clients can be informally instructed at the same time they are made more comfortable with touch in this area. For this reason, the book is valuable for all men who want to learn about their own bodies.The text is clearly written and technical terms are explained. A particular strength is close-up photos . "Good info for all men and women." according to M. Wuensch. Not sure what I expected, but I did find the presentation thorough, helpful and logical. Much of the general background can be found in other soucebooks and the internet but it was useful to have the information all in one location. The author did help me to identify long-standing posture problems as related to lower back pain.

What I was looking for when I bought this book was an anatomy book that had a narration that linked physiology to actual everyday movements and events. I don't think this book was exactly what I was it.Another quirk about the book is that, although it is "not written specifically for body workers", it is written by a Rolffer. This means that there is an assumed lexicon which you will quickly notice with the authors use of the
