OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE - PATRICK VAN DEN HEEDE GE...

In this work  one of the most innovative osteopaths practicing today describes osteopathy as an
art of communicating with tissue. He explores  in depth  osteopathic concepts as they relate to
different kinds of tissues. The development  organization  and memory of these tissues is the
common thread in these considerations  which also dwell heavily on embryology  histology  and
biochemistry. The text clearly demonstrates that the foundation of osteopathic findings and
procedures is built upon firm science. The last chapter deals with the therapeutic value of
osteopathic communication with tissue. This erudite and inspiring text will be of tremendous
value to all osteopaths who seek to deepen their understanding of how osteopathy works in the
body and how treatment and techniques can be optimized. Patrick Van Den Heede D.O. is a
renowned Belgian osteopath practicing in a private clinic in Orroir  Belgium. He obtained a
master of science degree in physiotherapy and motor revalidation at the University of Louvain
and studied manual therapy at the University of Antwerp. After obtaining his osteopathy degree
at the Institut William Garner Sutherland in Paris in 1984  he began teaching. Since then  he
has taught at most of the important osteopathy colleges in Europe and has written several books
and research articles. He continues to promote the study of morphology and embryology as
fundamental aspects of osteopathic science.
