By Dr. Stephen Sandler

Osteopathy and Obstetrics is a well-established textbook for postgraduate and undergraduate students of osteopathy. In this new edition, the original text has been revised to emphasize the physiological need for change that every pregnant woman undergoes, as well as showing the consequential anatomical developments. This revised and expanded version also gives greater emphasis in every chapter to safety issues, and to ensuring safe practice in diagnosis and treatment.

Organization of the Book

The text is divided into three main sections:

1. Above the Diaphragm
2. Below the Diaphragm
3. The Pelvis

It describes and explains the use of all types of osteopathic techniques including structural techniques, myofascial techniques, cranial techniques, and visceral techniques.

Target Audience

The information it offers on how osteopaths can work safely and effectively to treat the common problems often suffered by pregnant women, and the potential solutions, will also be of interest and value to midwives, obstetricians, and family practitioners.
