The Sensitive Nervous System
The Sensitive Nervous System updates and integrates the growing science of neurodynamics. Physical examination of the nervous system is carefully illustrated and explained. Management strategies are underpinned by cutting edge neurobiology and evidence-based medicine.
The years since the publication of David Butler's Mobilisation of the Nervous System (1991) has seen the rapid growth and influence of the powerful and linked forces of the neurobiological revolution, the evidence based movements, restless patients and clinicians. The Sensitive Nervous System calls for skilled combined physical and educational contributions to the management of acute and chronic pain states. It offers a 'big picture' approach using best evidence from basic sciences and outcomes data, with plenty of space for individual clinical expertise and wisdom.

- A review by Nicholas Lucas, BSc, MHSc (Osteopathy)
From its beginnings, osteopathy never embraced a single system (eg arthrodial) approach to treatment, or health care. Reading through both the early (1800's) and modern osteopathic texts, one finds consistent references to the health and function of the skeletal, arthrodial, muscular, fascial, lymphatic, vascular and nervous systems; each of which is a component of the current definition of somatic dysfunction.
