Balanced Ligamentous Tension in Osteopathic Practice by Susan Turner

Description

This user-friendly book will guide the reader to understand how Balanced Ligamentous Tension (BLT) can be used as a therapeutic principle in the practice of osteopathy. BLT is seen by many as an indispensable bridge between the better known ‘structural’ and ‘cranial’ approaches and is an essential part of the osteopathic heritage. In using ‘the gentle exaggeration of the lesion’, this approach is rooted in the original teaching of AT Still, the founder of osteopathy and that of his student W G Sutherland, who realised that from the point of balanced tension ‘the ligaments move the bones back into place’ spontaneously. This teaching was passed on directly to the author by William Sutherland’s friend and student, Anne Wales D.O. The application of BLT is powerful, precise and specific but is also comfortable for the patient. It has therefore been welcomed with interest by osteopaths around the world who seek to work precisely, with comfort and safety for the patient.
