Kevin Frank review of THE HEALTH

THE HEALTH THAT'S NEVER LOST 'An Energetic Approach to Chiropractic, Bodywork and Osteopathy' by Jeff Rockwell, D.C.

As reviewed by Kevin Frank, Certified Advanced Rolfer for: STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION: THE JOURNAL OF THE ROLF INSTITUTE

"Jeff has taught over 300 seminars to chiropractors, osteopaths, physical, occupational and massage therapists, on the importance of working with the myofascial system. It became clear that Jeff has been an active teacher and that is a good role for him. In the few days available to learn from Jeff, I was impressed with this clarity and supportive teaching style, Jeff has a strong command of anatomy and pathology and has developed an interweaving of percussive hammer techniques with structural integration.

Systematically, Jeff demonstrated the value of releasing long standing and deep fixations in the fascial system. Jeff used the percussive hammer to release scar tissue and fascial patterning in two individuals who had received many hours of structural integration. The results were immediate and observable. Jeff also articulated how these changes fit into a holistic picture of each person's function.

One of Jeff's books, The Health That's Never Lost, is a treatise that outlines his understanding and clinical application of Dr. Fulford's percussive hammer approach to treating myofascial strain. Jeff has presented much of it in terms of our familiar Ten- Series progression. There are abundant photographs, and abundant references... He cross-references to many of the major authors in the fields of Osteopathy, Chiropractic, SI and spiritual philosophy. Jeff embraces the domains of subtle energy fields, while nonetheless employing styles of body therapy that are practical and structural."
