Good Bones
So much of what is termed natural healing in America had its start with Dr. Still. He is a figure of such eminence
to the development of the idea of the body healing itself, that is hard to over-state it. The genesis of many other therapies, Chiropractic, Rolfing Structural Integration and other structural therapies is in Osteopathy. Though there are certainly precedents for some Osteopathic insights (Swedenborg's notion of the movement of cranial bones), the fact is that Dr. Still was a great innovator. Goodman's introduction is quite informative and well organized.( Some of the curiously offbeat machinations of early Osteopaths are described in other texts and make, occasionally, for amusing reading.) A familiarity with this seminal text is important for a notion about how
much we have lost in contemporary culture in the innate regenerative power of human beings. So while with this book alone you don't get a full picture, it is an inspirational place to start. ... Read more

Vitally important book on children's health
This inspiring book is a record of the life�s work of a great and humane woman. All parents, health professionals and educationists, indeed everybody concerned with children�s development and welfare, should read it.

Frymann�s early research showed that birth trauma, resulting from prolonged difficult labour, is the commonest cause of development delays in children. 80% of children with learning difficulties, attention deficits and autism, suffered traumatic birth during which the cranium was compressed as it passed down the birth canal. This limited physiological motion and disturbed the development of the nerve pathways, impairing coordination and confusing sensory input. Yet textbooks of child psychiatry uniformly ignore difficult labour�s material effects on children�s development.

Autistic children�s sensory dysfunctions, and characteristic perceptual and attention deficits, have a neurological origin, not a psychological origin (as postulated by Bruno Bettelheim). The psychological symptoms are the effects, not the causes, of autism. Perinatal complications are more common among autistic children than among their normal siblings or normal controls. Over half of autistic children show focal neurological defects and EEG abnormalities. Many have damage to the temporal lobe causing memory problems. Neurological impairment produces other mental health problems.

Birth trauma can also cause diseases of the ear, nose and throat, among the commonest illnesses. Compression of the facial bones may contribute to sinusitis, compression of the temporal bones to glue ear and vertigo, and compression of the jugular foramen to vomiting. Maladjustments of the jaw can lead to lisping and to difficulties with chewing, eating and swallowing.

A newborn baby�s cranium can be damaged in all these many different ways, but by the same token, it can also be mended. Osteopathic treatment can improve the cranial structure and so improve neurological function, assisting in restoring proper function in all these areas. Frymann�s 3-year study of 186 children at the Osteopathic Center for Children in La Jolla, California, resulted in the classic 1972 paper, �Effect of osteopathic medical management on neurological development in children�. This showed that osteopathic treatment improved sensory, intellectual and motor performance in children with neurological problems. Her motto is, �Don�t punish your children, treat them.� The earlier the treatment, the better the results.

These findings show that osteopathy should be included in paediatric health care and in special needs education. Ophthalmology, audiology, psychiatry and obstetrics could also all benefit from embracing the science of osteopathy. Osteopathic treatment can also reduce or eliminate the effects of other trauma. Often the osteopathic approach holds the key to solving the patient�s problem: osteopathy has a vital part to play in preventive medicine. ... Read more

Product Description
From Chapter I.:

"To readers of my book on the Philosophy of Osteopathy, I wish to say that I will not tire you with a book of compilations just to sell to the anxious reader. As I have spent thirty years of my life reading and following rules and remedies used for curing, and learned in sorrow it was useless to listen to their claims, for instead of getting good, I obtained much harm therefrom, I asked for, and obtained a mental divorce from them, and I want it to be understood that drugs and I are as far apart as the East is from the West; now, and forever. Henceforth I will follow the dictates of nature in all I say or write.[Pg 12]

"Tree of Life" is a remarkable story of an extraordinary woman - a valuable legacy for osteopathy students both past and present. ... Read more

Osteopathy involves a variety of techniques and can be used effectively for sports injuries, after accidents, during pregnancy, for growing disorders in children and for dental, visceral and cranial problems. In this book, two practising osteopaths explain simply and lucidly the basic principles of osteopathy: when to visit an osteopath; how osteopathy works; and specific conditions which osteopathy can relieve. Directories of useful names, addresses and further reading are also included. ... Read more
