Product Description

This title covers the osteopathic approach to patient management for pregnant women (pre and post partum), and for patients presenting with a variety of visceral conditions such as asthma, chronic breathing problems, various gastro-intestinal tract disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, other conditions such as post operative scarring and pain, and many others. It also addresses the improvement of management of general musculo-skeletal problems such as back pain, neck pain and so on, by incorporating visceral and fascial perspectives into those examinations and treatment protocols. Current clinical knowledge, and ethical and medical constraints are dissucssed throughout. Supported by clear illustrations and clinical case studies this books makes an excellent resource for all practitioners and students of osteopathy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Osteopath, Sep 8 2008

By WhiteKiwiRunning "Osteopath" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Visceral and Obstetric Osteopathy, 1e (Paperback)

A very mis-leading title and cover. Obstetrics was left until the last chapter and was very thin on the ground. I brought this book to help me with further information about pregnant women and infants. It was of very limited help. This is a book on Visceral Osteopathy, not Obstetrics or infants. Although well written, I feel ripped off as it very clearly states visceral and obstetrics, but is 95% visceral. If you are looking for a visceral book this is great, if you want information about pregnancy and infants i suggest looking at other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars great guide to visceral techniques, osteopathic medicine and osteopathy for pregnant women, Jun 28 2009

By osteo reader - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Visceral and Obstetric Osteopathy, 1e (Paperback)

Got this book to help me manage problems other than standard musculo-skeletal pain and biomechanical dysfunction. Gives insight into evidence behind physiologic concepts and how osteopaths link manipulations and techniques to various types of problems. Well written and without confusing 'osteo-speak' to hinder reading. Good illustrations - at last something that gives pictures that actually help! The obstetrics chapter was a good overview, shame it couldn't be longer. The case history sections gave lots more info into the osteopathic approaches and treatment rationales than the preceding chapters, which reviewed the anatomy and techniques in more detail. Contains lots of useful approaches to many visceral conditions such as respiratory problems and various gut problems that are not often discussed in osteopathic texts, and can be applied to adults and children / infants alike. A great buy - definitely worth it. Sure to be useful to all osteos working in these areas, and other professions who want to know what osteopaths do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visceral osteopathy, April 15 2011

By JamieTaylor - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Visceral and Obstetric Osteopathy, 1e (Paperback)

I was fortunate enough to have Caroline Stone as a tutor during my undergraduate days. She has continued to enlighten the osteopathic profession to visceral manipulation. This textbook will go down as a undergraduate and postgraduate essential. Beautifully illustrated and well written a credit to our profession.
