Energetic Bodywork: Practical Techniques

Energetic Bodywork starts from the idea that balance between mind and body is the basis of a healthy, energetic life. Memories of past trauma or a major emotional change can stand in the way of that balance. The book looks at the links between specific body tissues and emotional stress, working in the field of psychosomatic and alternative healing, and uses those links to help readers find the approach that suits them.

The author, Rita J. McNamara, is a practicing counselor and therapist. She explains how the mind-body connection works and describes a range of treatments that go beyond conventional massage and physical therapy. The methods are practical, non-toxic and easy to do, and the book serves as a guide to understanding emotional and physical health together.
