An improvement   2008-12-21
By D. King (Wisconsin)
Here is an honest review: Foundations 2 is a much better book than Foundations 1. However that doesn't say much. Foundations 1 was basically an overpriced doorstop. Foundations 2 is a better read with significant improvement in writing style and applicability. However it still does not address very significant shortfalls in the original text. Namely that evidenced based applications of OMM and specific osteopathic evaluation techniques in the various specialties are not addressed adequately. The specialties are addressed entirely too theoretically with little real-life doctor applications. It does not flow as a text should but rather sputters and stops only to chug back to life a few pages later sounding in need of a serious oil change. The principle reason this book sells is because it is required by most of the DO schools. Otherwise students would not buy such a Titanic book. Unfortunately the new edition of the book should be out soon (next two to three years) and doubtfully will be much of an improvement.
Comprehensive resource   2008-08-29

This book is well worth purchasing. It is very logical and comprehensive. It provides a holistic framework for effective health care regardless of the health practitioners profession.
Great for beginning and experienced osteopaths.   1999-10-09
By Jennifer L. Ravenscroft, DO (docjen@inetone.net) (West Virginia)
This is the long awaited basic textbook for osteopathic medicine. It is surprisingly complete, covering philosophy, history, research, and manipulative techniques. The beginning osteopathic student may find it most useful for its practical discussion on the techniques--high velocity, myofascial release, etc. I believe it is also helpful in standardizing our terminology, which will make it easier when taking board exams or talking with colleagues from other osteopathic schools. It includes contributors well known within the osteopathic community, including Michael and William Kuchera, Melicien Tettambel, Eileen DiGiovanna, and many others. As a family practice resident I frequently turn to this textbook first when I want to know more about how to treat a patient or when preparing lectures for students and housestaff.
The osteopathic manipulative therapy bible!   1998-12-29
This text is actually required reading for most if not all osteopathic medical students. It is a 'textbook', however, and hence completely (sometimes exhaustively!) comprehensive. But it is easy to read so that anyone with an interest in OMT will get a methodic how-to for myriad techniques, also a thorough history of osteopathic medicine to boot! One of my OMT professors at the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine wrote or co-wrote a few of the chapters so of course, I think those are the best! If you are looking for an educational approach to learning manipulation and the reasons behind it, this is a valuable resouce.
