Customer Reviews

Pretty good

This book is a reasonable resource for manipulation of the spine. Obviously it is very 'Maitland' oriented (which has it's short comings), but is an overall useful resource.

benefited

This is very useful for both diagnosis and then explanation and application of manual techniques for treatment.

Excellent

Excellent book with great descriptions to enhance assessment and examination skills for any P.T. A must have for a manual therapist!

A must read for learners of manual physiotherapy

A systematically arranged text presenting the "Maitland's concept" of manual physiotherapy through joint mobilization and manipulation. The approach focuses on detailed assessment, clinical reasoning and reassessment to determine the physical dysfunction and efficacy of manual physiotherapy techniques. It is not the techniques themselves only but the communication, interaction and reasoning processess which create a good manual physiotherapy approach.A classical "bible" for any physiotherapist specializing in manual physiotherapy.
