This exciting new book is now available. 

In this two-part series, Pediatric Manual Therapy: Visceral and Neuromeningeal Manipulation by Jean Anne Zollars, discover how these profound manual therapies, developed by French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral are adapted for newborns, babies, and young children.

These books:

•    Help the manual therapist treat pediatric patients with common conditions such as reflux, colic, tongue tie, gassiness, and constipation by differentiating whether the visceral distress is from dysfunction in the organ, the autonomic nervous system, cranium, fascia, or a combination of these structures.
•    Give guidance for assessing and treating babies and children with autonomic nervous system dysregulation, particularly as it relates to trauma, often presenting as irritability, difficulty sleeping, constant crying, hyperactivity, reflux, or inability to make eye contact with the caregiver.
•    Contain information specific to assessing and treating pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, torticollis, plagiocephaly, prematurity, medical trauma, and delayed milestones such as crawling.
•    Distill applicable information on embryology and neuromotor development, condensing relevant knowledge from shelves of texts and resources into a few concise chapters.
•    Emphasize how the baby’s or child’s tissues guide treatment, especially important for babies or nonverbal children.

Volume 1 takes the manual therapist through the step-by-step assessment and treatment approach for the baby or child, specifically for the autonomic nervous system, regulation, and the neuromeningeal system. It concludes with case studies integrating Visceral and Neuromeningeal Manipulation with pediatric therapy. Volume 2 continues with the assessment and treatment approaches focusing on the organs using Visceral Manipulation.

BOOK - This classic textbook, revised in 2006, explores the author's  central premise of Visceral Manipulation.  It's based on the relationship of structure and function among the body's internal organs, and how that relationship can affect and dictate overall health and well-being.

BOOK - Craniosacral Therapy is the most practical, comprehensive textbook in this rapidly growing field of therapy involving the cranial bones, meningeal membranes, cerebrospinal fluids, and whole-body connective tissues.

LEARNING TOOLS - This Pocket Guide Book emphasizes specific details to give a clear understanding of the organ attachments and the potential for functional change.

BOOK - Join John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., as he takes you from the union of sperm and egg through the development of the complex circuitry that makes up the human brain.

BOOK - From Manual Evaluation to General Diagnosis presents a comprehensive guide to osteopathic evaluation before hands-on treatment. Based on Croibier's clinical experience, it provides an extensive educational framework for the examination of patients to determine the course of treatment.

BOOK - Since the time of Hippocrates, medical practitioners have noted the clinical significance of temperature changes found over different parts of the body. In Manual Thermal Evaluation Jean-Pierre Barral brings this form of diagnosis into the new millennium.

BOOK - The book is designed to guide a person toward a greater understanding of his/her own body, and therefore be better equipped to remain healthy and enjoy life.

BOOK - In this book, Barral discusses each organ and its complex relationship with the rest of the body, explaining how pain can originate with an emotional upset that creates distress in an organ, or how a physically damaged organ can cause emotional problems.

BOOK - In Visceral Manipulation II, Barral expands on the Visceral Manipulation concepts and techniques presented in Volume I.  Here, he provides the reader with new perspectives on the pathology of visceral disorders, diagnosis, indications for treatment and therapeutic techniques.
