Samenvatting
Osteopathy is a profession with a thorough professional training (300 ECTS). Principles, concepts, science, and philosophy are learned, applied, and mastered in both theory and practice.Osteopathy has a special place in healthcare, first and foremost because osteopathy is a philosophy, including its practical application. A philosophy about life, substantiated by embryology, evolution, anatomy, and physiology, applied in diagnostic tests and adapted in therapy. Osteopathy gives the nature of life, in all its facets, the space to live and thereby restore health in every organism.In this book, the extensive knowledge and skills of osteopathy in the visceral field are presented. The foundations for knowledge are explained visually, complete with side steps to more interesting facts. The practice, divided into diagnostics and therapy, describes the implementation and assessment of the skills, accompanied by numerous images.On the one hand, this book is a study guide for those studying for the profession of osteopath. On the other hand, it is an enrichment of knowledge for the already graduated osteopaths (DO).The series of four books is didactically structured:Part 1 deals with the digestive system in all its facets (Oris, Oesophagus, Gaster, Duodenum, Intestinum, Colon);Part 2 describes the other digestive organs (Hepar, Ren, Peritoneum, Pancreas, Lien);Part 3 is about the Pelvis (woman & man) and the Thorax (Cor, Pulmones);Part 4 deals with the regulatory systems, such as endocrinology, diaphragms, and the Basic-Bio-Regulation-System (BBRS).The author, Robert Muts, has more than 35 years of experience in the teaching and practice of osteopathy. During these years, he has collected knowledge and science and built it up didactically. In practice, he has helped thousands of patients with this wonderful practical profession at the Integrative Medical Centre in Amsterdam.
