About the Book

This comprehensive and updated edition by Alexander S. Nicholas serves as an advanced and reliable reference for osteopathic medical students, practitioners, and educators. The content reflects the latest advancements and guidelines recommended by the Education Council on Osteopathic Principles (ECOP), ensuring alignment with current academic and clinical standards.

A newly added chapter on Clinical Integration of Osteopathic Manipulative Techniques provides clear, actionable decision-making guidance and technique implementation for over 20 common clinical conditions. New techniques have also been incorporated into the Counterstrain and Still Technique sections.

With a modular atlas-style layout, the book walks learners step-by-step through more than 450 commonly used osteopathic manipulative methods, supported by detailed instructions, anatomical references, and clinical context. Over 1,000 full-color illustrations, enhanced with realistic overlays and newly created anatomical images, reinforce understanding and technique visualization.

This edition also includes access to corresponding demonstration videos featuring over 250 osteopathic diagnostic and manipulative procedures, along with identification of anatomical landmarks—helping bridge the gap between theory and hands-on clinical practice. (Note: Online supplementary resources are not included with this text.)

This book is highly suitable for structured coursework, clinical use, board exam preparation, and long-term professional reference.
