AB Chapter  ObjectivesAt  the  conclusion  of  this  chapter,  the  reader  will  be  able  to:Recognize  the  historic  and  ongoing  contributions  of  osteopathic  medicine  with  respect  to  various  other  manual  therapy  systems.Understand  the  philosophy  underlying  the  osteopathic  approach  to  the  treatment  of  musculoskeletal  conditions.Recognize  the  importance  of  incorporating  manual  treatment  in  the  context  of  complete  care  and  of  incorporating  complete  care  in  the  context  of  manual  treatment.Design  and  apply  manual  approaches  using  the  interrelationship  between  structure  and  function,  somatovisceral  interactions,  and  the  mental-emotional  linkage  to  the  physical  body.Recognize  and  classify  biomechanical  and  other  somatic  clues  to  differential  diagnoses  found  in  the  neuromusculoskeletal  system.Understand  that  somatic  clues  to  diagnosis  found  in  the  neuromusculoskeletal  system  are  potentially  indicative  of  visceral  or  systemic  problems.Understand  the  osteopathic  examination  concepts  and  methods  leading  to  the  identification  of  somatic  dysfunction.Understand  and  competently  apply  the  concepts  and  methods  used  to  integrate  positional  diagnostic  clues  with  active  and/or  passive  motion  testing.Identify  six  documented  somatic  dysfunction  diagnoses  that  are  commonly  found  in  patients  with  chronic  low  back  pain  that  are  amenable  to  manual  intervention.Understand  the  concepts  of  direct  and  indirect  method  manipulations  in  general  and  the  concept  of  myofascial  release  specifically,  and  then  demonstrate  the  ability  to  competently  perform  these  techniques.Understand  the  principles  of  muscle  energy  and  demonstrate  a  basic  level  of  competence  in  performing  reciprocal  inhibition,  postisometric  relaxation,  and  rhythmic  resistive  duction  variations  with  this  activating  force.Understand  the  principles  of  counterstrain  and  demonstrate  a  basic  level  of  competence  in  performing  this  technique.
