Structural Bodywork has been written to provide an advanced introduction to the field of structural bodywork. This is the book that the author wished had been available to him when he embarked on his career as a practitioner in the field. At that time of this information was available only in medically oriented books that were often too technical or jargonistic for the non-medical reader to understand, or in much-photocopied 'underground compendia' originating from handouts distributed to those attending training courses. In recent years, however, the techniques of structural bodywork have become common property. They have moved out of the hands of foun,ding institutes and guilds and have been incorporated.
