Psycho-somatic Osteopathy

Introducing Psycho-somatic Osteopathy's central principles, diagnostic and therapeutic frameworks, this comprehensive book gives an in-depth overview of this emerging field. Psycho-somatic osteopathy (PSO) is used to treat a variety of conditions that lie at the intersection between psychological and physical complaints, including post-traumatic stress, emotional regulation disorders, chronic pain, and brain injury.

Expert in Psycho-somatic Osteopathy and practising osteopath Torsten Liem covers not only the foundations of PSO but describes newly developed approaches and techniques, and how to use them to treat specific populations and conditions. These newly developed approaches include osteopathic heart-focused palpation (OHP), osteopathic bilateral stimulation (OBS), osteopathic emotional regulation technique (OER), multimodal bifocal integration (MBI) and osteopathic felt sense (OFS).

A detailed and practical guide to implementing PSO treatment structures and clinical procedures, this book is an invaluable resource for both new and experienced osteopaths aiming to develop their practice.
