Reading List
Here's a partial list from my personal library. Some of the books listed here are newer editions of the ones that I have. Since I am a human Rolfer as well as someone who works with animals many of my books are human oriented. The unfortunate reality is that there are very few books on body therapy for animals that are not based on a human perspective.
