      Les problèmes morphologiques de la colonne vertébrale sont universels. Ils ne font que croître, avec les professions modernes, favorisés en particulier par la position assise et la projection de la tête en avant, lorsqu´elle s´accompagne de la nécessité de fixer visuellement son attention. On estime, à l´heure actuelle, qu´en cas de douleur vertébrale, une mauvaise posture est impliquée dans 80% des cas. S´appuyant sur les acquis de la Rééducation Posturale Globale-RPG, basés sur la rétraction des muscles à vocation particulièrement statique et sur la notion de globalité et de synergie qu´imposent les systèmes intégrés de coordination neuromusculaire contrôlant l´équilibre, cet ouvrage propose des explications logiques et étayées aux différents dysmorphismes du rachis vertébral : cypholordoses, scolioses etc. Les principes des « postures de traitement » et d´intégration proposés en constituent la conclusion naturelle. Cet ouvrage s´adresse à tous les professionnels de la santé, en particulier physiothérapeutes, confrontés quotidiennement aux pathologies vertébrales.

      Si la pratique de l'ostéopathie repose en premier lieu sur un diagnostic manuel spécifique, il devient de plus en plus indispensable pour le professionnel de savoir intégrer les données complémentaires de l'imagerie médicale, largement utilisée aujourd'hui. Conçu comme un guide, cet ouvrage présente l'originalité de s'adresser spécifiquement aux ostéopathes. Il se donne pour objectif de rassembler les connaissances nécessaires à une approche pratique de l'imagerie médicale. Fonctionnel, ludique et didactique, ce guide vise à : – favoriser la communication interdisciplinaire, la communication avec le patient et la compréhension des éléments radiologiques, en apportant les notions utiles de technologie et de technique ; – proposer une méthodologie d'analyse courante des clichés vus en cabinet, c'est-à-dire reprendre les notions de critères de qualité d'une image, la recherche des différents points d'analyse, les notions de pièges diagnostiques ; – éveiller le praticien à la notion de « diagnostic ostéopathique radiologique » (DRO) et aboutir à une utilisation en routine de celui-ci. Les notions sont abordées par région anatomique et incidence par incidence. Ce guide d'imagerie intéressera les ostéopathes en formation ainsi que les professionnels en exercice.
