There's an article, in the just released issue of Massage and Bodywork, by Diana Thompson on Somatic Research; pages 116-121.

I too have used the body cushion for years using the same techniques you've…

i have learned that…
Me too Harry. I've had my ball for years and it was needing air the other day, so I mentioned it to my partner. He filled it without telling me and when I sat on it yesterday to work the clients head, neck, and shoulders; whoa! I was up there!
