Features rolfing, Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, craniosacral therapy, pilates, trager, and shiatsu. This book covers movement therapies which are not hands-on (Yoga and Tai Chi). It also includes Qi Gong and Magnets, which many therapists use along with more traditional physical agents.

"Complementary Therapies for Physical Therapy: A Clinical Decision-Making Approach" is unique in that it provides a comprehensive overview plus detailed coverage of the therapies most relevant to rehabilitation. The largest section of the book covers manual body-based therapies, which (arguably) are a natural extension of established physical and occupational therapy interventions. This section includes rolfing, Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, craniosacral therapy, pilates, trager, and shiatsu. Movement therapies which are not hands-on (Yoga and Tai Chi) are covered in another section. Separate chapters are devoted to Qi Gong and Magnets, which many therapists use along with more traditional physical agents.
