Description
This expertly authored book is a valuable clinical manual for therapists interested in cranial manipulation, a fast-growing area of manual
therapy practice. The new edition presents the latest thinking on the use of this valuable approach, supported by the most up-to-date
research evidence related to its use. Osteopathic biomechanical and biodynamic concepts are thoroughly examined, in addition to chiropractic
and dental approaches involving cranial and cranio-facial manipulation. The book's unique approach explores both soft tissue and osseous
applications, and provides guidance on which option to select in different clinical situations. Descriptions and explanations of techniques
are supported by high-quality illustrations, a CD-ROM containing actual video demonstrations, and practical exercises integrated within
the text.
