This book is an excellent combination of both a thorough review of cranial osteopathy and a detailed study of the application of cranial osteopathy to the care of infants and children. The illustrations and pictures are plentiful and helpful. It is clearly written by someone with years of practice treating children with cranial osteopathy. The author's remarks in the treatment sections are particularly helpful. This is more than a textbook. It is a text plus many seminars worth of information collected into a single very practical book.

Great to have a reference when it comes to cranial, and I love that this is geared towards kids. Good pics and explainations throughout the book. Clear and easy to follow.

This textbook provides a thorough review of the anatomy and physiology underpinning the practice of whole-body cranial osteopathy. It discusses the somatic dysfunctions, and their origins, that are responsible for, or contributes significantly to, an extremely broad spectrum of pediatric clinical presentations. Additionally it provides one of the most inclusive and insightful considerations of the functional (and dysfunctional) interrelationship between maternal and foetal anatomy in the context of the prenatal period and the birth process. This text is a treasure-trove for anyone who practices osteopathy and particularly for those who treat infants, children and/or adolescents.

Excellent and well written.
