Some practitioners hesitate to be involved with manipulation
techniques and pregnancy. "Osteopathy and Obstetrics" demonstrates
that there is no scientific evidence to support such fears. During
a pregnancy the patient is going to change both anatomically and
physiologically in every part of her body. The obvious signs of
this change include growth of the abdomen, change of shape of the
spine and pelvis and the growth of the breast tissue. What is not
so obvious are the changes to the cardiothoracic system, the
gastrointestinal system and the renal system. Changes to the
reproductive system are obvious only at the end of the pregnancy.
Osteopathic practitioners with their structural, cranio-sacral,
myofascial and visceral techniques are uniquely placed to
facilitate these changes. This book looks at each body system,
discovers the way that the system changes, and then suggests and
demonstrates specific osteopathic techniques and diagnostic methods
to allow the practitioner and student to practise obstetric
osteopathy efficiently. Each section contains up to date references
so that science-based medical principles are respected and
followed. Safety issues are constantly emphasised so that the
treatment experience is a pleasant and successful one for both
patient and practitioner. The book is divided into sections dealing
above the diaphragm, below the diaphragm, and in the pelvis. Each
section is illustrated by photographs and supported by text boxes
and line diagrams. The author is a practicing osteopath and has 30
years experience of teaching osteopathy and obstetrics. In 1980 he
set up the first clinic to treat expectant mothers at the British
School of Osteopathy . He has written this book to satisfy the
demand of student osteopaths and mature practitioners wherever
osteopathy is taught and practised. Introduction Chapter One :The
