Reviews

"This book is a must for undergraduate libraries and for clinicians wishing to update their approach to clinical decision-making" Review of First Edition, Therapy Weekly, December 1995is an excellent book which I highly recommend to anyone who is serious about manipulative therapy. It makes a very valuable contribution to manipulative therapy knowledge by evaluating clinical practice in light of scientific knowledge"Physiotherapy, March 1996is not some dry old textbook but is extremely readable and I only wish that it had been around when I was training or in my first outpatient rotation- it would have been a constant companion at my side! I would definitely recommend a student or a department investing their money in a copy." Sue Mickleburgh, December 2004"This is a book we should all read. All students, both late-stage undergraduates and postgraduates should read this book. It's not expensive, it's easy to read and contains much that we should all know"In Touch, Spring 2005, Paul Johnson MSc, BSc, MCSP, MMACP
