"If this text by Carole Osborne-Sheets had been included in their [many students] curriculum, the mystery of deep work would have been resolved and the relationship of “tissue sculpting” to many other forms of bodywork would have been explained." - Massage Magazine. Click here for entire review

Reviews of the first edition:

"Connected touch has a quality which permits the practitioner to sink unintrusively into the tissue of the client,; at its most powerful, this is combined with the deep subjective awareness of the client which Trager calls hook-up and Osborne-Sheets describes as working from the physical, emotional, and mental body centers...Osborne-Sheets brings together a great deal of information usually available only in lectures at those massage schools which teach connected touch and at workshops.

"This is not just a technical manual. It offers clear descriptions of the principles upon which soft tissue therapy is based"
-- Raymond Hruby, D.O., Past-President of the American Academy of Osteopathy.

"The real strength of this book is its artistic presentation. It offers a rare insight into the psyche of the massage practitioner who has transitioned into an artist... A must for anyone in the massage profession sincerely interested in becoming a professional and becoming an artist."

"The first technical manual from which a therapist can actually learn deep tissue massage...An excellent textbook by one of the finest teachers in the U.S."
