Description
Cranial osteopathy is an increasingly popular treatment approach for many common disorders affecting the head and neck. This new clinical
guide is the first and only in-depth resource on the subject, offering a comprehensive analysis of osteopathic dysfunctions and principles
in the cranial field. It examines each cranial bone and describes its location, development, and clinical implications of dysfunction.
This discussion is followed by guidance on inspection, palpation, biomechanical and biodynamical approach to the motility of each cranial
bone, and explanations of appropriate intrasutural or intraosseal techniques. Excellent illustrations and step-by-step sequencing of
techniques make this book an exceptionally valuable resource for clinical practice.
Audience
Osteopathy. Chiropractic. Physiotherapy. Dentistry. Manual therapy.
Practitioners and student reference for all groups.
