Ebook: The Protean Body: A Rolfer’s View of Human Flexibility

In this book, Johnson challenges the dominant notion of the body as a fixed material object, subject to change mostly through sickness, accidents, and aging. Johnson examines the changeability of the body from four perspectives: the biological nature of the body itself, changes due to the body practices of everyday life, attitudinal influences, and changes possible through bodywork, particularly Rolfing.
