Osteopathic Assessment

Examination, diagnosis and treatment planning are the crux of any osteopathic consultation, and this new book will enable practitioners to refine their technique and thus improve the treatment offered. It will also be an excellent text for those undergoing training, in providing them with a new, holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment planning. The book will be invaluable for Osteopaths, as well as chiropractors and other manipulative/physical therapists. This is: a practical 'how to' book, well illustrated with 180 line drawings and half tones; a comprehensive guide for testing all areas of the body to determine the precise location of the disorder. It offers a three dimensional approach to soft tissue motion testing based on anatomical principles, and enables the practitioner to formulate the correct management plan with confidence in the diagnosis.
