\nThis book aims to increase awareness of how to palpate and understanding of what is being felt.
\nIn this fourth edition of his now well-established and much loved book Leon Chaitow
\nhas introduced references to the latest research findings relating to fascia and
\nits role in health and disease, so that practitioners can apply this knowledge
\nin interpreting what they palpate. In addition to the author, six notable contributors
