Osteopathic Self-Treatment: Finding Health

Osteopathic Self-Treatment: Finding Health

Osteopathy is on everyoneâ‚¬s lips. In order to detect their patientsâ‚¬ problems, osteopaths employ comprehensive skill and knowledge regarding the structure and function of the human body. A little-known fact, however, is that the osteopathic techniques and principles are wonderfully suited for self-treatment, as only the patient himself has a direct link to his inner self.
The first part of the book explains the principles of osteopathic treatment.
The bookâ‚¬s main part is then the â‚¬Å“osteopathic medicine cabinetâ‚¬Â with 45 exercises for all areas of the body, from headaches to ankle sprains.
