This book is tailored for current Cranial Osteopathic practitioners seeking a deeper and more profound understanding of their practice. It offers an ‘inner’ perspective, allowing practitioners to explore Cranial Osteopathy from a broader and more profound viewpoint.
The journey begins by guiding the reader through a personal exploration, helping them understand themselves as practitioners. It delves into the ‘osteopathic toolbox’ and emphasizes the importance of being ‘inner-centered’ during diagnosis and treatment.
The book then addresses various aspects of diagnosis, particularly focusing on tissue and fluid states. It introduces ‘inner’ considerations that practitioners should apply when evaluating a patient’s condition.
Taking an inclusive approach, the book examines the entire body and uses the ‘inner’ perspective to assess and treat each area. Each chapter provides an overview of relevant anatomy and discusses the osteopathic implications while introducing innovative methodologies.
To facilitate learning, the book includes case studies and clinical experiences. ‘Hands-on’ exercises are featured and are accessible through audio files, allowing readers to practice and apply the described approaches. These exercises are designed to be performed ‘at the treatment table,’ enhancing the reader’s ability to use these techniques with patients.
The audio component guides the listener through an ‘anatomical tour,’ explaining the exercises as they use their hands to experience the sensations described.
This comprehensive guide is intended to empower Cranial Osteopathic practitioners to elevate their skills, deepen their knowledge, and broaden their understanding to an advanced level
