Christoph Newiger
Osteopathy: Gentle healing with the hands

THE classic introductory book on osteopathy in German-speaking countries. It gives an overview of the origin and the background of osteopathy. There are case and treatment examples to get an impression of the practice. Furthermore, the history of osteopathy in Germany and the current legal situation are examined. One notices that here with Christoph Newiger wrote a journalist, which is closely interwoven with the Osteopathie scene in Germany and knows well. For an introduction and an overview of osteopathy, the work is highly recommended.

John Upledger
Listen to the inner doctor

John Upledger, American physician, osteopath and leading craniosacral therapist, describes his work in this book as „normal“ Doctor in the field of conventional medicine to a co-founder and promoter of craniosacral therapy.
Upledger can write very clearly and can do without a lot of specialized vocabulary. This makes this book good and easy to read, and even for opponents or vehement critics of Craniosacral Therapy, it offers a non-dogmatic account of the development of one of the founders and refiners of this form of therapy.
