Written and designed for today’s physiotherapists at all levels of training and experience, Clinical Application of the Maitland Concept of NMSK Physiotherapy: Assessment and Management of Neuromusculoskeletal Movement Functions, 6th Edition, Volume 2, offers a cohesive, practical approach to manual therapy (OMPT practice) based on G. D. Maitland’s ground-breaking principles of physiotherapy. This fully revised text clearly explains the transfer of theory towards clinical management, the reasoning behind it, and the precision of how to apply various techniques for assessment and treatment. Each chapter is written by a subject area specialist, and provides narratives of patient experiences that guide students in applying the content to similar situations in their own future practice.
