This book is a compilation of the philosophy and techniques of the early masters of osteopathy, from A.T. Still to William Sutherland, Anne Wales to Carl Philip McConnell, and many others. Much of this philosophy, and many of the techniques, are no longer taught in current courses at osteopathic schools.

In writing this book, the authors accessed many old journals, books, and videotapes of the early generations of osteopaths, and spent time with some of the older doctors, harvesting their knowledge before they passed on. The book is therefore a unique and extremely valuable collection of their ideas and techniques, as relevant and effective today as they were for patients in the past.
To better understand how to apply each of the techniques and their underlying philosophy, the authors have provided step-by-step instructions, with photographs, and a clear description of hand holds and force vectors. By understanding the principles upon which the tech¬niques are based, practitioners can adapt them to their own style and physique.

Masters of Osteopathy is also separately available in digital format as an eBook, as is access to a website containing video demonstrations of each of the 166 techniques shown in the text.


Praise for Masters of Osteopathy:

“I am sending you this note to tell you how much I have enjoyed going through this volume. As a perspective on osteopathic approaches, I think this is exceptional!”

—Anthony G. Chila, D.O., F.A.A.O., Dist., F.C.A.


Masters of Osteopathy by Crow and Vardy demonstrates how much we still know and yet, how much we have forgotten in the realm of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. The authors bring back a number of original techniques that can be used safely and effectively for conditions affecting the regions covered in this text. As an author and teacher of Osteopathic Medicine, it is always refreshing to see the origins of our manipulative armamentarium!”

—Alexander S. Nicholas, D.O., F.A.A.O., Dist.
