USER REVIEWS
"i'm a second-year D.O. student right now, and we were required to purchase this (very overpriced) book for our OMT class.
it's nice to have a full-color atlas of techniques, but the pros of this book stop there.
in nearly every lab, we are told about another omission or typographical error. not all of the techniques that we are required to learn are in the book. to make it even more confusing, the techniques are organized by type instead of region. this makes no sense since the labs are taught by region. it's much easier to understand the progression from a muscle energy technique to an HVLA technique if you don't have to flip 60-some pages and try to find the next technique. also, some of the explanations of the techniques are a bit confusing.
finally, there is no explanation for how the techniques work. there is a little blurb at the beginning of each chapter to explain some basic principles of the type of technique (e.g. for muscle energy, PIR vs reciprocal inhibition), but it would be much more helpful to explain with each technique exactly HOW it is improving the dysfunction (i.e., which m muscles or joints are being engaged)
this book has the potential to be good, but it needs to go through a few revisions first."
