It contains hard-won lessons by a physician who makes his living providing manipulative medicine therapies to hospitalized patients. The compilation of this material is difficult, making the read a bit repetitive at times, but the information contained within the pages is pure gold. | ||

| Greyden Press, Columbus, OH | ||
| Revised 2nd Edition (1994) | ||
| This book provides the reader a method for attempting to understand the relationship of OMT to the medically ill patient. It is well footnoted, providing a strong academic basis for its contentions, and also provides treatment goals and guidelines for the application of OMT in the treatment of systemic disease. The flow of thoughts in the book are occasionally tangled, making it somewhat difficult to comprehend in a casual setting. Nevertheless, the academic references that this book contains will make it useful to the serious student of OMT. [ buy online ] |

| James J. Cox, Jr., D.O., COMLEX Question Editor | ||
| 2003 | ||
| This is a very popular OMT board review book. It provides a wide-ranging review of the basics of OMT, as well as copious board review questions for students to practice for their boards. It is clearly organized for this purpose. This board review orientation makes this book most appropriate for those who are studying for the boards, and will significantly limit the utility of this book for the seasoned osteopathic physician interested in furthering their OMT capacities.
