I am a 2nd year Osteopathic Med Student and purchaced the book b/c it was was required for the course.

The atlas contains several hundred useful techniques and what makes it nice is it provides step by step instructions for each technique with accompanying pictures that make the instructions easy to understand and memorize for exams.

This book will be a useful resource to remember many techniques throughout my career. I wish they offered it in hardcover b/c I will use it for a long time to come

4.0 out of 5 stars Got me through my Recertification Boards!, November 18, 2010

By 

Rebecca - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlas of Osteopathic Techniques (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)

Thought this book was very well presented. The pictures were very clear. I was really able to go back and relearn/review a lot of techniques I was rusty on for my Family Practice Recertification Boards. I did deduct a star because how the book was organized was a bit confusing at times, and so I had to flip all around the place. But the pictures were really well done and the arrow made it very clear HOW the techniques were done. I also really liked that it gave variations on each technique, so that you could find the one that worked best for you or in a specific situation.

This is one of the best resources I've found for OMT refresher. The pictures are sharp and well posed so you can clearly see the setup and activation necessary. An excellent atlas, wish I had had this when I was at KCOM.
