I take this opportunity to express my
gratitude to those who have assisted me with this book.
First of all, I thank my teacher Dr.S.M.Tuli, Professor
and Head of the Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of
Medical Sciences, Varanasi, who guided and encouraged me.
Though we often in our thinking, we were imbued with the
common objective of relieving suffering.
I am thankful to George W.Northup, Editor, Journal of the
American Osteopathic Association, for his advice. I thank
my friend Dr.Claude S.Dutton, LRCP,MRCS,DA,LLCO, who made
his collection of world wise publications on osteopathy
available to me. My gratitude to Dr. Thomas G.Dummer ,
DO, a believer in the use of specific and less
force during manipulation for better results, and Dr
Jamshed P.Randeria, LLCO, for acquainting with thee
orthopaedic developments in UK.
A special thank you to my father Vithal Das Modi without
whose encouragement and guidance this work would not have
been possible. My gratitude to my wife Usha whose
endurance, untiring co-operation and support helped to
make this book a reality. A big thank you to my patients
who put their firm belief in treatment by manipulation.
And last, but not the least , I extend my appreciation to
all those who by word and deed are helping osteopathy to
get a firmer footing in this country.
