Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE THIRD EDITION: The book has many strengths: it is written in an organised, logical user-friendly format with excellent accompanying graphics, giving detailed and precise descriptions in clear language... I cannot recommend this text highly enough. Physical Therapy Reviews (2006) Overall, the book is very well written and easy to follow, with a logical progression of chapters and repetitious format for the reinforcement of assessment sequencing and ideas. International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine (Sep 2006) Overall this is a very practically based book which guides the reader through the assessment process with useful prompts to assist clinical reasoning. It is therefore a valuable resource for undergraduates, new graduates and also as a reference text for clinicians working in any neuromusculoskeletal setting. Manual Therapy (Aug 2007)
