Osteopathic Treatment of Children

This comprehensive standard work on osteopathic pediatrics brings together the expertise of over 70 international authors into an interdisciplinary reference book for pediatric osteopathic practice. The volume provides a structured guide through the fundamentals of early childhood development—from embryology, pregnancy, and birth to the developmental stages of the child—and connects these with central treatment approaches: visceral, fascial, craniosacral, and lymphatic techniques, as well as General Osteopathic Treatment (GOT) and the Fulford method. A key focus is placed on the osteopathic mindset: various conceptual perspectives are compared and translated into specific treatment recommendations for the most common pediatric indications.
