The Endless Web is a fully illustrated guide to understanding how myofascia works, it supportive role inside the body's anatomy, and how gentle manipulation of the myofascial tissue is central to lasting therapeutic intervention and how it can be included into any bodywork practice.

Highly recommended 2008-10-21

By Hortensia (PalmSprings, CA United States)

I have been teaching massage for over 20 years and I think this is an excellent text. I prefer it to Anatomy Trains, although that is also an excellent text. Beginning massage therapists tend to look at the body as muscle and bone, but there are more connections in the body than that. The Endless Web looks at fascial binding in a very understandable way, which adds a new and powerful dimension to a massage therapist's work.

hard to read 2008-09-04

By New Yorker (USA)

I am very interested in connective tissue and myofascia and how it works in the body ... but I am finding this book a difficult read.

Great view of connective tissue as a physical structure 1998-12-25

By enuffodis (SF)

Before I read this book I had never really considered the functioning of connective tissue as a "web-like" structure within which bone and muscle articulate. The authors contend, starting with embrionic anatomy and onward, that the c.t. forms a bed within which cells differentiate. From this view point of c.t. being a primary base for physical form, we are shown how all parts of the web are connected, and create "bands" that ideally are nether too tight or too loose. I didn't know much about Rolfing either, but apparently this bodywork deals specificly with c.t. Good book, great publishing company.
