A comprehensive sourcebook for massage, bodywork, and somatic practitioners and their clients. Also, a great resource for dance, exercise, or yoga teachers and their students. With numerous illustrations, photos, special features, and somatic exercises, this text is user-friendly. Practitioners are even encouraged to photocopy exercises to give to their clients.
Somatic Patterning covers a broad spectrum of topics, including early motor development, body-mind awareness, pain relief, breathing, postural muscles, organic movement, and basic kinesiological patterns. And, it is well-documented with comprehensive glossary, endnotes, bibliography, and index.
