If you or someone you care about is suffering from symptoms tied to head trauma and the head not being properly aligned, this book is for you.Worried that, even after all that medical care following the accident, your daily life continues to be filled with that nagging pain at the base of your skull?

Learn about the science that revolutionized 20th century medicine from the founder himself!Andrew Taylor Still liberated his practice from traditional, then futile, medicine. Having prescribed drugs for years and found them of more harm than benefit, he resorted to engineering principles and treated the human body as one magnificent machine, founding the science of osteopathy and the first school of osteopathic medicine in the world."Osteopathy is the natural way by which all the diseases can be relieved." Writes Still, explaining that restoring natural blood flow through manipulation of muscle tissue and bone is the only remedy the body needs. His theories are supported by evidence from his personal experience."I will give no undemonstrable theory."Whether you're a medical student, practitioner, or nurse who wants to have unconventional tricks up their sleeve to relieve their patients, a history student studying the development of medical practice, or a curious reader who's passionate to know about 20th century pioneering methods in medicine, this book is all you need to understand the basics of osteopathy, and you don't need to be familiar with medical terminology."I have written as far as possible in the plainest language."

Inspired by his immigrant physician mother, who surmounted multiple obstacles in her forty-five year-career, Dr. Friedman worked through a twenty-year battle with depression to realize the life-saving power of committing himself to love, spirit, and service. This story of his personal journey toward wholeness offers thoughtful advice for those who suffer and encouragement for those aspiring to careers in the healing arts. Where Spirit Touches Matter: A journey toward wholeness is a book about health, healing, and hope by a physician who has spent more than thirty-five years helping patients find relief from pain and suffering. Dr. Friedman writes: "On a journey to Tibet, while circling what is widely considered the holiest mountain on Earth, Mount Kailash, which sources the five great rivers of Asia with its runoff, I heard the myth that one of the rivers, the Saraswati, existed only in nonmaterial form. In this form, it contributed a spiritual and vitalistic energy to the holy Ganges, which arises at the convergence of four rivers in the Himalayan region of India."Eight years later, on my last journey to India, I stood in front of the gorge where the Saraswati River originates, and I wept. I wept because I saw that the nonmaterial had become material, and that the chasm between the mythological and the physically real had been bridged. This is the meeting place of spirit and matter that I have pursued in endless forms throughout my life."This book chronicles a sampling of my experiences of that space between. It honors the continuously moving stream running through all of time and space, filled wholly with the presence of a loving consciousness. I am grateful to have been a participant in the flow of that stream and to have been given the opportunity to return whatever love I can into that current."

In this Treatise on the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS), Dr Brooks presents a new paradigm for understanding the musculoskeletal system and a scientifically valid-reliable, semiquantifiable, and consistently interpretable-method for examining dysfunction thereof. This first volume presents the fundamentals of the paradigm and is designed for use by a primary care audience. While the paradigm is applicable to the wide variety of clinical conditions potentially amenable to manual medicine and related rehabilitative techniques, this first volume takes chronic, nonspecific musculoskeletal pain syndromes as its focus for application.The FPMSS paradigm complements orthopedic, rheumatologic, and neurologic understandings of the musculoskeletal system and contrasts with current models of manual medicine in several important respects:Understands the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ systemDiscriminates questions about physiology from questions about anatomyDiscriminates questions about pathology from questions about physiologyDifferentiates functional pathology from structural pathologyAppreciates principles of scientifically valid nomenclature for function and dysfunction of musculoskeletal structures as components of an integrated systemRecognizes dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system as inefficient functionShifts the emphasis of examination for dysfunction from malalignment of structure/posture to disturbance of systemic movementDiscriminates control of posture and movement from imbalance of available motionGrades available motion deficits using the criterion of proportionality-not merely symmetry-thus revealing otherwise unappreciated dysfunction and allowing for prioritization and profilingPrioritizes mobilization interventions according to specified, ranked criteriaProfiles an individual's motion phenotype based upon patterns of available motion deficits, thus providing "precision" biomechanical medicineUse of the FPMSS paradigm examination will reduce the incidence of false negative and false positive findings for MSS dysfunction-thus improving the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of caring for those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain.

In seinen Schriften griff Blechschmidt das Thema der menschlichen Embryologie unter dem Gesichtspunkt biodynamischer Stoffwechselfelder konsequent auf und beschrieb es. Seine Aufmerksamkeit gilt der Frage: Wie entsteht die menschliche Form?Blechschmidt schrieb und veröffentlichte ausschließlich in deutscher Sprache. Dies geschah größtenteils durch einen zweisprachigen deutsch-englischen Band, der von Karger ("Die Entwicklungsstufen des Menschen vor der Geburt", 1960) herausgegeben wurde, und durch eine außergewöhnliche Zusammenarbeit mit seinem Mitautor RF Gasser ("Biokinetik und Biodynamik der menschlichen Differenzierung", 1978) ), dass seine Arbeit teilweise einem international englischsprachigen Publikum zugänglich gemacht wurde. "Die Anfänge des menschlichen Lebens" (1977) wurde in erster Linie für die breite Öffentlichkeit geschrieben, ist aber nicht mehr gedruckt.Die Veröffentlichung von Brian Freemans Übersetzung von "Die Ontogenetische Basis der menschlichen Anatomie" (2004) trug zu einem wachsenden Interesse an Blechschmidts Ideen bei. Langsam begannen Osteopathen, Strukturintegratoren, Schädelpraktiker und andere Therapeuten, seine Arbeit zu schätzen.Die oben genannten Bücher bieten sowohl einen allgemeinen als auch einen umfassenden Zugang zum von Blechschmidt beschriebenen morphologischen Kosmos, sind aber derzeit leider nur teilweise verfügbar. Es gibt jedoch eine Reihe unbemerkter wissenschaftlicher Artikel, die bereits ins Englische übersetzt wurden und einen detaillierteren und tieferen, spezifischen Einblick in dieses durchdachte Universum von Form und Gestalt bieten. Das Buch, das Sie hier haben, ist eine Zusammenstellung einiger dieser einzelnen Artikel.

Ziel von osteopathischen Behandlungen ist es, die oft gestörten Selbstheilungskräfte zu aktivieren und dadurch eine ganz natürliche Heilung einzuleiten. Der Osteopath erreicht dies mithilfe seines Wissens über die menschliche Anatomie und Physiologie und mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl. Die Techniken der Osteopathie eignen sich aber auch hervorragend für die Selbstbehandlung. Hierfür wird die eigene Körperwahrnehmung eingesetzt. Thomas Seebeck vermittelt in diesem Buch die Prinzipien der osteopathischen Behandlung und vor allem die 'osteopathische Hausapotheke': Insgesamt 45 Übungen für häufige Problembereiche (z.B. Kopf, Rücken, Verstauchungen) werden detailliert und praxisnah gezeigt.
