FPR and Beyond Facilitated Positional Release

An easy-to-follow introduction and step-by-step guide to the techniques of Facilitated Positional Release (FPR), this book is intended for practitioners of manual medicine. FPR, a term coined by the technique’s originator, Dr. Stanley Schiowitz, refers to the innovative and fast approach to manipulative techniques he developed and perfected over his 65 years of working with patients and students. During his long career, Dr. Schiowitz served as Dean of the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM, formerly NYCOM), founder of the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) Department at NYITCOM, and as an editor and contributor to the book “An Osteopathic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment,” which many Osteopathic schools now use as their main textbook. Using an accessible and photo-illustrated format, “FPR and Beyond” offers Dr. Schiowitz’s core teachings and insights into manual medicine.
