Osteopathy and Obstetrics is already well-established as a textbook for
postgraduate and undergraduate students of osteopathy. In this new
edition, now in full color throughout, the original text has been
revised to emphasise the physiological need for change that every
pregnant woman undergoes, as well as showing the consequential
anatomical developments.
This revised and expanded version also gives greater emphasis in every
chapter to safety issues, and to ensuring safe practice in diagnosis and
treatment
The text is divided into three main sections:
Above the Diaphragm
Below the Diaphragm
The Pelvis.
It describes and explains the use of all types of osteopathic techniques
including structural techniques, myofascial techniques, cranial
techniques and visceral techniques. Osteopaths, chiropractors, physical
therapists, and others working in the manual therapy field, will find
the book invaluable for reference as a practical technique manual. The
information it offers on how osteopaths can work safely and effectively
to treat the common problems often suffered by pregnant women, and the
potential solutions, will also be of interest and value to midwives,
obstetricians, and family practitioners.
Based on Dr Sandler's lifetime work, teaching and treating throughout
the world, Osteopathy and Obstetrics is a unique contribution to the
body of knowledge within the world of osteopathic manual treatment.
