The Five Osteopathic Models by Giampiero Fusco,Ray Hruby,Christian Lunghi,Paolo Tozzi Pdf

Far from being simply a sequence of techniques, as practised in many countries osteopathy is an independent primary health care system based on principles applied through a manual practice: a unique profession that takes care of the whole person through the application of five models (biomechanical, neurological, respiratory-circulatory, metabolic, and behavioral). These conceptual models of the relationship between structure and function allow osteopaths to evaluate treatment with the aim of promoting health rather than curing disease. This book is intended as a manual for both students and osteopathic professionals interested in exploring the principles, objectives, origins and application of the five osteopathic models, from traditional concepts up to a modern vision, based on evidence and critical thinking. The selection criteria and rules for the application of each model, with their limitations and potential, are examined, to enable the reader to understand the rationale behind their use in a comprehensive, holistic and patient-centered practice.

Optimal Wellbeing of Ageing Wild Animals in Human Care by Sabrina Brando,Sarah Chapman Pdf

Many wild animals in human care live longer than their wild counterparts because of modern care and wellbeing programmes, leading to a growing demographic of ageing animals. This handbook is dedicated to their care. As an innovative expert publication, it integrates all aspects of professional care, including topics such as behaviour, ethics, environmental enrichment, training, veterinary care, nutrition and habitat design. Each animal is unique in their preferences, physical and emotional needs.

The ageing process and death of an individual can be a significant event for others in their group, as well as the human carers. This book consolidates best practices for supporting and assessing optimal ageing animal wellbeing. It describes practical and science-informed approaches and philosophies regarding the care of ageing wild animals in zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, universities and laboratories in a single source. This is an invaluable reference for veterinarians, animal care professionals, animal welfare researchers and students, and anyone with an interest in caring for animals. Personal stories and beautiful images of ageing individuals brightening the start of each chapter and remind us that what we do must be in the best interest of the animal and be at the heart of their care.

What the Horses Have Told Me by Dominique Giniaux Pdf

The lay public is probably less familiar with the concept of osteopathy than with this of chiropractics. Let it be stated that both acknowledge the pathological effect of vertebral lesions (subluxations)upon the functioning of the nervous system. Osteopathy however may practice a different type of manipulations, and concerns itself with the whole structure, that is to say vertebrae, but also all other joints, muscles, ligaments and fascia. Osteopathy holds that if the structure is blocked in whichever of its componenets, health will be jeopardized, since the flux of energy which pervades organism will be impaired. It is a "manual" medicine, where the healer (physician, veterinarian) is "listening" to his/her patient. Hence the title of this book "What the horses have told me."
