Re Scoliosis and So Cal EDSers - Book on Scoliosis

[Guest guest]

One of the (many) books in my reference library is titled

" Scoliosis - Diagnosis and Management " by Rene Cailliet, MD.

It's not very big - only about 120 pages - but is very detailed. I

am typing the Table of Contents by chapter and page number down

below. Since there are at least two of you ( and Debbi) who

responded back about having scoliosis yourselves, take a look at the

table of contents. If you want, I will toss it in the RV and bring

it with me when we head south so you can take a look at it.

As info, I just checked amazon.com for it. It is out of print, but

they do list 12 used copies available for $8.75 plus shipping. Also

as info, Cailliet is one of my more respected authors when it comes

to bodywork and alternative therapies. There are a handful out

there that I highly admire - he is one of them. In fact, I have

several of his works, including his entire Pain series.
