From the Back Cover

All I can say is FANTASTIC! As an equine chiropractor I concentrate mainly on restoring joint function through manual manipulation of the joints, particularly the spine. Your Myofascial Release Manual fills all the gaps about safely treating soft tissue stress that joint manipulation alone cannot address. Your descriptions of anatomy and the techniques are clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book for every equine therapist of horse owner who needs to see fast improvement in their horse's performance.

Dr. Danial Kamen D.C. Author of The Well Adjusted Horse.

I learned a lot about horses--not my usual clients--reading this book. Jim Pascucci's love of animals, experience in the field, and practical wisdom come through on every page. The section on fascia is a masterpiece of economical presentation, and the material on perception from the horse's point of view--simple and obivous once it is revealed--makes the language of "hors-ese" immediately easier.

Tom Myers Author of Anatomy Trains Myofascial Meridians

Jim unites his extensive technical training with the practical wisdom that comes with experience; creating a clear, balanced and holistic approach to myofascial release instruction.
