The Atlas of Osteopathic Joint Techniques is a methodological guide that pays close attention to areas previously described to a small extent in other books. For each joint (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot), dysfunctions are the object of diagnostics, which consist of range of motion tests (with illustrative photographs), followed by an elaboration of the most important elements of the clinical picture, as well as the basic causes of joint imbalance.

The techniques, selected for their effectiveness, have been illustrated by approximately 400 photographs, which were selected according to a precise, didactic key. They show in turn: the position of the therapist and patient; the arrangement of the therapist's hands; the precise placement of therapeutic points of action; the process of correcting range of motion limitations. Diagnostic tests, as well as advice and tips from the authors, help to achieve optimal mobilization, allowing for effective mastery of the corrective gesture.
