Hi,

Initially I was skeptical whether Professor Greenman's new edition would be any thing new. I was hoping, but I was cautious. And I recieved the book 3-4 days ago, and after reading each chapter, I am thoroughly satisfied, 5 stars. As Lisa DeStefano has placed valuable clinical information, 'clinical pearls', in this 4th edition that makes understanding and interpreting the positive and negative physical examination findings much more understandable. Actually, I did not get the chance to attend one of Professor Greenman's 'Clinical Pearls' seminars from Michigan State University before he retired, and I even asked if he would write a book on the topic. However, understandably Professor Greenman declined, as he is retired. That is why I am very pleased to read this new edition as it is full of useful information.

p.s. As you can see I am bias towards the Greenman Approach, this happened after I attended one of his seminars in the United States, it was of excellent quality. Also, I wanted to let those who are interested know that Michigan State University (MSU) is now selling DVD's by Professor Greenman (Muscle Energy Technique, High Velocity Low Amplitude Thrust, Myofascial, and Functional)on osteopathic technique, application and philosophy. If you would like a recommendation, they are the highly recommended, 5 star. And, after reading this latest edition, I have found out that Michigan State University (MSU)has post graduate courses on osteopathic philosophy and technique, which I will attend after seeing the quality of the book, DVD's and Professor Greenman's last ever seminar in Arizona, which I was fortunate enough to attend in January 2010.

All the best with your healing career!

Kind Regards,

Nicholas Usui-Crook

This textbooks is a must-have for all serious manual therapists. It gives a good historical perspective of osteopathic philosophies and a plethora of various techniques from their vast library of OMT.
