- Interdisciplinary Relationships in the Treatment of Chronic Back Pain: Helping People Get Better.
This paper was presented at The American Back Society Conference In Los Angeles, California on December 3, 1994.
- Rolfing®: Reorganizing the Human Structure
This article was written in 1982 while I was on the staff of Sports Medicine Resource in Brookline, MA. Adapted from an article by the Rolfer Roger Pierce, PhD, it is an explanation of traditional Rolfing.
- Further Reflections on the Healing Process
I wrote this in 1987 as part of a series of articles. The first, about the body’s response to injury and the second, about the nature of balance and how it changes when injury occurs, were published in the PT Forum, a journal for physical therapists. This was the third in the series but it was never published. The Forum considered it too unorthodox (which it was for them). I think it is interesting as a precursor to the changes outlined in “Some Things About Me and the Way I Work.”
- Rolfing from a Biodynamic Perspective (Download PDF)
This well written and informative article about the biodynamic model appeared in the jounal “Explore” in January, 2005 (Vol. 1, No. 1). It was written by two osteopathic physicians, John M. McPartland, DO, MSc and Evelyn Skinner, DO, BA. I have tried repeatedly to contact Drs. McPartland and Skinner to ask for permission to reprint their article but have been unable to reach them. I am hoping that they will not be upset that I have included it here. I want to say once again that I am not a physician and that my approach to the biodynamic model is not based on a medical perspective. It is my intention to write my own article on the role biodynamics plays in my life and practice and it is my hope that that article will appear on these pages in the not too distant future
