Science in the Art of Osteopathy: Osteopathic Principles and Models: Osteopathic Principles and Practice

"Osteopathy students have few books written by UK osteopaths to help them through their courses so from that point of view, this book is very welcome. It is very osteopathic and tries to draw together a lot of broad themes and relate them to osteopathic principles.

My problem with this book is that I can sit and read a chapter and come out feeling that I've just read a bunch of words but ended up none the wiser.

Other students on my course swear by this book and every osteopathy student should read it. Just don't expect the veil of osteopathy to be lifted and all revealed."

"Which should be an oxymoron, but often isn't as many authors write about treating diseases or dysfunction in areas of the body as if they were seperate. Caroline Stone takes the first principle (or philosophy) of osteopathy "the body (person) is a whole" and builds this book around it. I have not come across any other book which does this to the same extent.

Sometimes this can make the reading a little difficult, after all in an interconnected web there is no starting point, but the effort is well worth while."

"De-mystifies how osteopathy works, and explains principles in a scientific way without any vague wafling. Great book for osteopathy students, if you want to understand what you're doing without having to wade through a mountain of books to find the answers!"
