Dr Becker taught many hundreds of students over the course of forty years the approach to osteopathic manipulative treatment that gently prompts the patient's body to heal itself.

 Life in Motion lays out this approach and Dr Becker's development of its profound philosophy and practical application. It serves as thorough presentation of Dr Becker's work for the many students of osteopathy who never had the chance to learn directly from him as well as for those physicians who experienced Dr Becker's work firsthand.

In fact, anyone practicing a healing art will find within these writings a deeper understanding of the nature of health and healing and the practitioner's role in bringing this about.
