      When Dallas Church ran full speed to the point of impact, his only goal was to help anyone he could. He did not know or care that being so close to the meteor would change him so drastically. In the year that followed, Dallas would be hailed as a hero, the rookie cop who risked everything to save others, then persecuted and outcast as a monster when the real effects of his exposure to the meteor became clear. Fortunately, Dallas is recruited by an organization promising to use his newly evolved talents to provide security for others. As the team forms, Dallas and his new colleagues must learn to trust each other and to accept their diversity. Dallas soon discovers his power is linked to a greater evil. As he sacrifices everything to save a child, he learns that these events, and he himself, are not what he had believed.

      Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings, this revised edition of Deep Tissue Massage is the standard guide to the essentials of touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork practice. The book is divided into three sections. “Fundamentals” covers basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to the therapist. “Strategies” offers more precise protocols and treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading tissues. “Caveats” details areas in which the practitioner needs to exercise caution. Deep Tissue Massage presents a wealth of information in a way the therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the psychology of treating injuries.
