This book is an essential buy for undergraduate and postgraduate
physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors looking to develop
their manual therapy skills. I have attended the authors'
Chiropractic and Osteopathic Manipulation course, and the book
complements it perfectly with clear illustrations and descriptions
of the techniques they taught, along with enhanced theoretical
knowledge to enable their safe and effective application. I will
certainly be using this book to facilitate my continued clinical
practice.
