Good brief intro to Osteopathy

If your cramming for a little D.O. knowledge (such as an interview for D.O. school), this is a good use of your time. At less than 100 pages it briefly covers topics such as:The Rule of the Artery (importance of good circulation)Interdependence of structure and functionOsteopathic lesion vs. allopathic lesionPrimary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM)Manipulation techniques that are touched on include articulation, pumping, traction, inhibition and fascial unwinding. You won't be an expert but least you will be able to drop a few terms and sound intelligent.
