Everything you ever wanted to know and more

I am a huge fan of DK reference books and this book did not disappoint - beautifully set out, utterly readable and throughly researched. I have taken this book out of the library again and again and finally decided that I just couldn't do without my own copy. How much do you know about rolfing, tragerwork or the Feldenkrais method? This book gives you an overview of all sorts of therapies and it's colourful pages inspire you to study them all - if only I had enough hours in the day!!

I like the book, it has a little of almost everything, it's not great because in some cases it could have been more especific. but I especially liked the part about Touch and Movement Therapies and found the very usefull. I would buy this book again if I had to!
