Osteopathy : Models for Diagnosis, Treatment and Practice

This book is a textbook of basic osteopathic concepts, working from first principles underpinned by anatomy and physiology.

This text will synthesize and integrate osteopathic models in an easy-to-understand way, a subject often daunting to students and confusing to graduates.

Composed of four sections, the first is a discussion of basic principles, the second focuses on models and diagnosis of treatment which is followed by anatomical, neurophysiological and osteopathic considerations.

The last section describes clinical case-studies to enable students to put into practice the theories and models which they have learned.

This book is an essential reading for all osteopathic BSc degree courses and a core textbook for undergraduate students.
