Description and Table of Contents
Description
"Maitland's Concept of Manipulative Therapy" is established as one of the standard approaches to spinal manipulative techniques. "Maitland's Vertebral Manipulation" is an indispensable and authoritative guide to this approach. For the sixth edition, GeoffMaitland is joined by three co-authors who have worked closely with him, and add invaluable input to the updating and revision of this classic text. Redesigned in a new colour format, with lavish illustrations, the book also includes expanded text with a new chapter on prognosis and new material to further explain the Maitland concept and method. This long awaited text is sure to continue as the essential cornerstone for all physiotherapy students and practitioners.
