Product Description

Continuing professional development in the mainstream manual therapies: physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic, is now a mandatory requirement to ensure continued registration with the relevant professional body. All the professional registration bodies identify the importance of continuous self-directed learning and learning with others. This workbook can be a practical tool in identifying areas for further study and once completed, will form a valuable part of the therapist's continuing professional development portfolio. This workbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the consultation process, covering the general observation of the patient, aspects of the case history, physical evaluation and specific systemic examination procedures, enabling the practitioner to reflect upon their personal differential diagnostic criteria for both medical disease and musculoskeletal dysfunction.

Superbly practical guide to improving diagnostic skills
This excellent guide by Simon Browning, a tutor at the British School of Osteopathy, provides a splendid introduction to developing the essential skills of diagnosis.
Osteopathy examines and treats the whole person, assisting in recovery from a great range of problems. It is not just about backs! This book should be compulsory reading for General Practitioners, so that they appreciate how much osteopathy has to offer to a very wide range of patients.
