Editorial Review:
This practical, concise, must-have handbook by faculty in the Department of Osteopathic Principles and Practice at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine will assist physicians, therapists and other practitioners, and medical students in applying manipulative treatment techniques for common problems encountered in primary care practice. For each technique, the book provides indications, contraindications, stepwise description of the technique, and an accompanying photograph--a total of over 350 photographs. Newer OMT techniques, including percussion vibrator and facilitated oscillatory release, are included for each region of the body. Exercises derived from the structural exam and OMT appear at the end of each chapter. The index allows look-up by syndrome, modality, or body region.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - good "pocket" book for OMT
I am a DO. This is a good book for quick reference for positions for tests or in practice, but there is VERY limited explaination text. If you are studying for a written test, this is not a good source. If you in practice and need a reference for physical positions, its better. easier to carry around than Foundations book.
Rating:  - Excellent review of Osteopathich techniques
This book is a must have for the Osteopathic Medical student. It's small enough to fit in your lab coat pocket and yet complete in the way it describes the techniques. Counterpoint, myofascial release, bioenergy, and many other treatments are covered concisely and many have pictures of the techniques. I recommend this book to anyone in Osteopathic medicine.
