Many books have been written about Sutherland's cranial concept, but not a lot about his approach to the rest of the body, Balanced Ligamentous Tension. Susan Turner's book brilliantly fills this gap, sharing her lifetime of osteopathic experience with future generations. Firmly rooted in the osteopathic tradition and written in a precise and clear language honed in decades of teaching, this is nevertheless a very modern book that also references relevant scientific sources and includes links to technique videos wherever this is useful. One cannot learn techniques purely from a book. But for those who learned in practical courses to listen to the tissues and find a Point Of Balance, this book is an invaluable resource for specific approaches to the various areas of the body. -- Raimund Engel, MSc., D.O. Principal of the Vienna School of Osteopathy Probably the most important osteopathic book of recent years, written by long-time experts in the field. It is very practical and hands-on, and at the same time shows a deep understanding of physiology in osteopathic interaction. This book will be a source of inspiration not only for students, but also for osteopaths with many years of experience -- Eva Möckel D.O., F.S.C.C.O., faculty member of the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy This is an exceptional treatise on Balanced Ligamentous Tension. Sue dives deep into the philosophy, principles, and anatomy at the heart of the work, offering the reader not only a clear and practical guide to the procedures, but the depth of understanding needed to ultimately master them. -- Hugh Ettlinger DO, FAAO, FCA, Founder and former clinical director of the OMT department of St Barnabas Hospital New York, Vice President of the SCTF
