In Memoriam
IPRRF Past Board President Libby Eason and first Director Thomas Findley at Fascia Research Congress IV
We are sad to announce that after a long and uneven battle fought with courage, strength, and humor, as of September 20th, 2018, Dr. Leon Chaitow is no longer with us. In the few months that he was ill, he was able to complete his last book, Fascial Dysfunction 2nd edition, available from Handspring Publishers, and made arrangements for editorial succession of the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies. For those of you who knew him well, please know that, in the words of Dylan Thomas, Leon raged like few against the dying of the light and did not go gentle into that good night. His legacy lives on in his many books and articles, in the students he taught, in the patients he treated, and in the family to whom he was a most beloved husband and father whose loss will never fade. The greatest way to honor him is to continue to carry that torch.
