An
absolute masterpiece! Written by a true master of this ancient craft; and a joy
to read.
--Robert Schleip PhD, Director Fascia Research Project, Ulm University, Germany
David Lauterstein has written a profound, poetic and enlightened book that
looks at the person as a whole being, not just the sum of the body’s parts. It
is a reverent, beautifully written mixture of the practical and the
philosophical. David uses vivid prose to weave together touch, massage,
structure and energy into a book that emotionally connects us to ourselves and
others. His love and respect for the human body and the human experience is
evident on every page. This book is destined to become a classic in the bodywork
field. Every massage therapist and bodyworker should read it.
--Dr. Ben Benjamin, founder Muscular Therapy Institute, Author, Listen to
Your Pain, Ethics of Touch, Are You Tense?
At the heart of this fine book is music. David Lauterstein - a voice of deep
experience - sings the octave of the body's chakras to create a melody of
deep-tissue protocols, bathed in the harmony of rich therapeutic contact,
steadied by the bass tones of bodywork's place in our unfolding human story.
--Thomas Myers, Director: Kinesis, author of Anatomy Trains
In The Deep Massage Book, David Lauterstein transmits years of
valuable knowledge and experience. An artist both of words and touch, he
delightfully informs the reader. This is an important book for every therapist,
student of the healing arts, and all people curious as to the deeper benefits of
massage therapy and bodywork.
--Dr. Fritz Smith, MD, founder of Zero Balancing, author of Inner Bridges and
Alchemy of Touch
The great bodywork pioneer Ida P. Rolf described her work as "a series
of principles that leaves behind it a trail of techniques." I cannot think
of a better way to explain David Lauterstein's seamless way of presenting the
principles of his Deep Massage method and the precise and innovative techniques
that are organically birthed from them. Part poet, part philosopher of healing,
and part master clinician, David-- and his new text-- is a 100% invaluable
resource to all sincere students of bodywork and manual therapy.
--Dr. Jeff Rockwell, D.C., clinician, author, educator, Santa Cruz, Ca.
"David's gentle wisdom, attention to detail and to the potential and
dimensions of loving, skillful touch, along with over 30 years of professional
experience combine for a book on bodywork that is truly revolutionary.
If you purchase only one hands-on book this year, make this the one. It is the
most innovative book for bodyworkers in the past 30 years!"
-- Bob King, Co-founder, Chicago
School of Massage Therapy, national educator, and industry leader
