An easy-to-follow, well illustrated clinical introduction to cranial manipulation techniques and the related theory and research evidence. Takes the reader through basic concepts underlying both osseous and soft tissue techniques. An introductory chapter provides a brief historical perspective to this fast developing area of manual medicine with reference to the latest research findings. Subsequent chapters describe specific techniques in easy-to-understand language. High-quality illustrations supplement the text to show hand positions, direction of motion and more.

At the deepest level of our physiology, all living tissues and fluids expand and contract with the 'breath of life'. Through gentle touch, the skilled practitioner can interact with these subtle rhythms to address physical aches and pains, acute or chronic disease, emotional or psychological disturbances, or simply to promote enduring health and vitality. This new and important textbook demystifies the biodynamic approach to craniosacral therapy and shows how and why it can be so effective at bringing about a natural realignment towards optimal health. The authors describe how to 'listen' and respond appropriately to each client's system, how to create a safe space for working with different kinds of trauma, and how to address specific states of imbalance to support deep-felt and lasting change. Throughout the book, experiential exercises encourage the reader to practice their newly-acquired skills, and refine their knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. A final chapter on practice development covers issues pertinent to practitioners trying to set up and maintain a successful practice. This intensely practical textbook will transform the practice of craniosacral therapists, and contains much that bodyworkers of all kinds will find useful.

This second edition presents a thorough revision of Cranial Nerves. The format reflects the shift in teaching methods from didactic lectures to problem-based learning. It maintains the first edition's approach of blending the neuro- and gross anatomy of the cranial nerves as seen through color-coded functional drawings of the pathways from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input), and from the brain to the periphery (motor output). The content is targeted to students of the health sciences who may be studying neuroanatomy and gross anatomy for the first time. It will prove to be a valuable quick reference for residents in neurology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and maxillofacial surgery.

Ultrasound in Liquid and Solid Metals focuses on the effect of intensive ultrasound on metals, including the analysis of the development of cavitation and acoustic flows in melts, mechanism of metals' spraying and crystallization, the formation of dislocation structure in crystals, diffusion, phase transformation, and plastic deformation. Physical fundamentals of intensive ultrasound effects are covered, and detailed discussions are presented on the engineering principles of equipment and material design for the practical use of ultrasound in the refining of melts, crystallization of ingots and molds, pulverization, plating, pressure working of metals, surface strengthening, and other processes.

While there is considerable diversity in the forms and styles of cranial manipulation, all would agree that a thorough understanding of the sutures of the cranium and face is essential. Yet until now, no one has given these important structures the attention they deserve. In this ground-breaking work, the author describes the structure and motion of the sutures in much greater detail than ever before, showing with extensive photographic evidence how the bones of the cranium actually move, and how the practitioner can optimally affect that movement. Based on many years of experience in both the clinic and anatomy lab, Dr. Pick's analysis is supported by over 300 photographs and illustrations. Systematically examining each of the sutures, including those of the face, vault, and base, Dr. Pick brings clarity and precision to these descriptions. Everyone who touches the head with a therapeutic intent will learn many valuable lessons from this book. This is likely to become the standard reference on the cranial sutures for many years to come, and is an essential book for all practitioners of cranial manipulation.

Cranial Osteopathy is both a textbook for practical training as well as an in-depth reference book, providing the knowledge base for successful application of cranial osteopathy. Designed with the practitioner in mind, it provides a comprehensive compilation of recent studies and research in this field, with extensive resource materials and nearly 500 illustrations and photographs. This book will deepen your practice of cranial osteopathy in the following ways: * Enable better assessment of responses to treatment * Enable a more integral palpatory approach to the patient, with a deepening of the different dimensions of touch and resonance * Enable better differentiation in the cranial examination of patients * Facilitate the process of conscious listening during palpation * Clarify the act of therapeutic synchronization with the homeodynamic forces in the tissues * Provide a better understanding of the stages of growth and modes of ossification of bones, which explain certain windows of time in treatment * Provide a more precise understanding of sutures to enable more satisfactory delivery of treatment

Cranial Nerves: Function & Dysfunction presents problem-based learning cases and clinical testing in a vibrant visual format. The color-coded functional drawings and text guide the user through the pathways/modalities from the periphery of the body to the brain (sensory input) and from the brain to the periphery (motor output). Each pathway is described according to the direction of the nerve impulse, not according to the embryologic outgrowth of the nerve. Cranial Nerves text, by separating the nerve fiber modalities, highlights important clinical aspects of each nerve. Cranial Nerves, in its third edition, will be appreciated by students studying neuroanatomy and gross anatomy across the health sciences (medicine, rehabilitation sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, speech pathology, audiology, nursing, physical and health education, and biomedical communications). Residents and practitioners will find a valuable reference in neurology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and maxillofacial surgery.

This is a unique book. Written by a professor of Medicine who spent years teaching medical anatomy in the laboratory as well the lecture hall of USA medical schools, this book teaches you the cranial nerves in three dimensional space. You need to know the cranial nerves in three dimensional space; knowing the cranial nerves in lists, tables and mnemonics is useless for practicing physicians. An additional unique feature of this book is the connections it makes to neuroanatomy which is traditionally taught in the second semester to first-year medical students in the USA. Lastly, physicians, especially neurosurgeons and radiologists, will find the detailed tracing of cranial nerves in the cranium useful.
