The hands-on approach taken by the author goes beyond the traditional theories and principles presented in similar resources. The primary focus of this articulate resource is to educate the reader with in-depth laboratory studies and material for a multitude of topics including soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic exercise programs.

Students and clinicians learning manual therapy for the first time will benefit greatly from the accommodating figures, illustrations, and photographs for each examination/treatment technique for various regions of the body. Spinal Manual Therapy: An Introduction to Soft Tissue Mobilization, Spinal Manipulation, Therapeutic and Home Exercises is the ideal resource for all those interested in grasping the basics of spinal manual therapy and transferring that knowledge into practice within a clinical environment.

Customer Rating:      Summary: It is exactly what it is!!! Comment: We all know how difficult it is to find a good book that cuts right to the chase, puts it in easily understandable terminology and can truly teach you. For the PT student has even a slight interest in manual therapy, this is a great introductory text.
It cites clinical research to back up the interventions that are prescribed. I had the privilige of taking a class with the author, a truly wonderful professor and I highly recommend his text to anyone who wants to be a part of manual theraoy practice.
It has cases in the back of the text to test your knowledge of how well you have absorbed previously learned material in other classes and challenges your ability to be a solid clinician.
The text is broken up into clearly defined sections and covers the assessment, what are the most common deviations to see, problems that may arise in a specific area, soft tissue interventions, and therapeutic exercise to augment your treatment.
I won't spoil anymore, like I said, I highly recommend it.
