Description
This is a multi-author, multidisciplinary text which brings together the latest research and provides a source of evidence for students and practitioners of manual therapy. Edited by two of the most highly respected researchers and practitioners, it presents the work of the leading lights in manual therapy and presents their findings in a way which is easily accessible and obviously relevant to clinical practice.
