Abstract

The article presents a brief overview of the papers by H. V. Hoover, published in the American Academy of Applied Osteopathy in the period from 1945 to 1968. The article considers theoretical statements, which serve as a basis for the functional approach in osteopathy and describes the principles of the performance of the functional techniques. The attention is also paid to the advantages of functional techniques and their difference from the structural ones. Functional approach is a manifestation of fundamental principles of osteopathy, that’s why functional techniques must make an integral part of the osteopath’s arsenal.
