Review Quotes:
Nigel Dawes has produced a work of both historical and practical value, placing the role of abdominal palpation in diagnosis and healing in its rightful position.The text is a thorough exploration of palpation utilized in the traditional Japanese healing arts.
Since the early 1980s, Nigel has been a student, practitioner and teacher of Shiatsu, Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, making him eminently qualified to present this subject.
A long overdue book that belongs on the bookshelf of any serious practitioner.
