Introduce your students to manual examination and manipulation techniques for spinal and TMJ disorders! Manual Physical Therapy of the Spine, 3rd Edition provides evidence-based guidelines to manipulation, evaluation, and treatment procedures. A perfect blend of theory and practice, this text uses an impairment-based approach in showing students how to reach an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective plan of care. The text’s photos and drawings — along with some 200 videos — demonstrate examination and manipulation procedures, including therapist hand placement, applied direction of force, and patient positioning. Updated with the latest thinking, this comprehensive resource will help students develop clinical reasoning skills and succeed in practice.
