The art of osteopathy has always been based on a body of anatomical
and physiological theory and data but it has recently been expanded in
exciting ways involving contemporary thinking in physics and biology
that tell us more about disease causation and tissue function.
This book brings these two fields of thinking together.
The author is now recognised as deep thinker in the field of osteopathy
and has developed an international following since the publication
of his first book At the Still Point.
He puts into clear and understandable prose the ideas and feelings
that many osteopaths experience but find difficult to express.
The application of concept, theory and, above all, principle,
is the real challenge and it is by addressing these with penetration and
relevance that the book allows the practitioner to \u0091find the health\u0092
rather than merely attempting to confront disease.<\/p>\n
