Atlas of Osteopathic Techniques 2nd Edition by Alexander S. Nicholas eBook PDF EPUB

The second edition of the Atlas of Osteopathic Techniques continues in its attempt to describe both in text and in photographic illustration the most successful and safe application of osteopathic manipulative treatments. In this vain, we have included additional anatomical illustrations and clinical indications and contraindications where appropriate for specific techniques. Every attempt has been made to describe a technique with its illustrations on the same or adjacent page, as was done in the first edition.

In developing the second edition of the atlas, we retained the many classical and historically important techniques from the first edition, as well as including a number of additional techniques in various chapters. This will especially be seen in the Counterstrain and Muscle Energy Technique chapters where many extremity oriented techniques have been included. We utilized the core curriculum recommendations of the Educational Council on Osteopathic Principles (ECOP) of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) in order that those using the atlas for undergraduate osteopathic medical education would have the most comprehensive reference for osteopathic manipulative techniques.
