Manipulation in its many forms has been associated with chiropractic
and osteopathy since their inception. Throughout the last century, a
huge number of techniques have been developed and increasingly shared
between the two professions, and this book is a much-needed compendium
for the modern manual practitioner. Technique choices are driven by
a need to change function, and having a toolbox full of manipulative
techniques drives a tailor-made approach to each patient rather than a
‘one size fits all’. We should all continue to learn, and those of us with
significant experience often learn more from our allied professions than
our own.
The book does not solely present techniques, but also offers a thorough
and well-referenced review of the literature on the neurophysiology of
manipulation, patient safety and contraindications, as well as anatomical
and functional considerations on, for example, fascia and disc pathology.
The reference lists at the end of each chapter are an invaluable source of
further information, and show the vast scope of material the authors have
reviewed for this book.
