Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue Mobilization, Spinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises is a systematic, easy-to-follow manual of clinical techniques for the spine, pelvis, and temporomandibular joint. The hands-on approach taken by the author goes beyond the traditional theories and principles presented in similar resources.
The primary focus of this articulate resource is to educate the reader with in-depth laboratory studies and material for a multitude of topics including soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic exercise programs. The format in which the material is presented allows the reader to form a comprehensive understanding of spinal manual therapy. Students and clinicians learning manual therapy for the first time will benefit greatly from the accommodating figures, illustrations, and photographs for each examination/treatment technique for various regions of the body.
Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue Mobilization, Spinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises is the ideal resource for all those interested in grasping the basics of spinal manual therapy and transferring that knowledge into practice within a clinical environment.
