Torsten Liem – författare

Cranial osteopathy is an increasingly popular treatment approach for many common disorders affecting the head and neck. This new clinical guide is the first and only in-depth resource on the subject, offering a comprehensive analysis of osteopathic dysfunctions and principles in the cranial field. It examines each cranial bone and describes its location, development, and clinical implications of dysfunction. This discussion is followed by guidance on inspection, palpation, biomechanical and biodynamical approach to the motility of each cranial bone, and explanations of appropriate intrasutural or intraosseal techniques. Excellent illustrations and step-by-step sequencing of techniques make this book an exceptionally valuable resource for clinical practice.

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.

In 35 chapters written by the editors and a team of internationally renowned contributors the book covers the underlying principles of osteopathic palpation from a biodynamic and 'morphodynamic' perspective, and their application in the cranial field and the spinal cord.It emphasises the importance of considering not just the patient's physical self, but also the inner consciousness. It teaches how to assess tissue-energy characteristics, and to use this understanding in managing the whole patient.The work discusses biophysical, neurobiological and psychological interactions as well as the interplay of developmental dynamics and further epigenetic influences on the organism.As well as the primary respiratory mechanism, various biological rhythms play an important role within osteopathic treatment; the book explores new insights that flow from chronobiology and rhythm research.All osteopathic practice develops on conceptual foundations. Acknowledging the importance in the practice of osteopathy of such theoretical underpinning, the book discusses osteopathy with regard to the development of paradigms within the healing arts as well as from various philosophical viewpoints - such as postmodern, system-theoretical, Goethian and phenomenological. It examines thoroughly the multi-layered dynamics of development of human beings interacting with their environment.The resulting implications for therapeutic interaction as well as principles of diagnosis and treatment form the core of the book. These fundamental principles are then specifically applied to the cranial sphere. This section focuses primarily on the treatment of the brain, as well as the developmental dynamics of the relations of the midline, cranial bones, dural structures, vessels and cranial nerves.

The book aims:To enable osteopaths - and other manual practitioners/bodyworkers - to understand the importance of fascia and its relevance to their work.....By providing a comprehensive textbook covering history, nature and properties [function] of fascia...And covering all aspects of osteopathic management of disorders that relate to/are mediated by the fascia.....Using contributions from leading authorities bearing in mind so far as possible the needs and interests of osteopaths.

Taking a detail-oriented, yet holistic approach to the body, is the underpinning of craniosacral osteopathy. This richly illustrated guide, which focuses on the special sense organs, orofacial pain, headaches and cranial nerves, will help you understand how specific dysfunctions arise, but also how they interrelate to wider patterns of dysfunction. Further chapters cover palpatory procedures, including examples of best practice, and guidance in training your palpatory perception. With precise anatomical diagrams to illustrate each craniosacral technique, this resource provides a strong foundation for any successful cranial osteopathic practice.
