efine your touch!" These three words of admonishment from a partner on my first day of Rolfing training were probably the best single lesson I've received in my bodywork career. I realized that my touch was, indeed, harsh; if I attempted to make things happen against the will of my clients and their tissue, my work was less effective and could be a cause of alienation rather than a rewarding and close connection.
