The Kimberly Manual is a time-honored resource of osteopathic manual manipulation for students and professors alike. The same material is utilized by medical students today. This edition returns to the format and terminology used in the original 1980 edition in order to memorialize Dr. Kimberly's methods. Many of the photographs in this manual show Dr. Kimberly's skilled hands personally demonstration techniques. A firm believer in adaptability, he has been quoted as having said many times: "Your should be able to treat any problem in three positions with three methods. or you are inadequate!" The photographs and directions are clear and concise, so techniques can be extrapolated to somatic dysfunction beyond the scope of the manual. It is separated into easy-to-digest sections: cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines as well as the pelvis, lower and upper extremities, and the rib cage. Each treatment section has precise documentation with photographs and captions pertinent to the operator's specific body, hand, and finger placements, including the application of pressure with directions and forces. Techniques include: articulatory, high velocity low amplitude (thrust), muscle energy, and respiratory force (balanced ligamentous tension). The Memorial Edition of the Kimberly Manual is well suited to stand in any osteopathic physician's office for the occasional teaching moment, to refresh one's own knowledge of a particular technique, or to apply a new one. It continues to be a resource for osteopathic students at all levels of training.
