“Osteopathy is not based on science!“ Counter truth swept away by this treaty based on 30years of research, on our work, all statistics, on more than 900 scientific publications,allowing to build and support the global approach to osteopathy! Unrecognized roles of thediaphragm, pressure columns ©, visceral dynamics © organized, intrinsic dynamics ©, specific disturbances of dynamics in correlation with visceral dysfunctions, visceral hypersensitivity, sacroiliac joint, iliopsoas muscle, intracranial pressure, tonic dysposturality ©, etc., as much innovative and fundamental data. The osteopath is guided by a simple methodology in the maze of all spheres exploitable in osteopathy: discussions, scientisfic justifications, diagrams and more than 150 photos! The information is completed by a DVD.
