This highly illustrated text is the only book to include manipulation and mobilization techniques for both spine and extremity. This edition includes a new title that reflects the focus on evidence- based practice as well as more information on the spine, most notably with regard to joint play. Clearly labeled photos show the direction of force in techniques. A companion DVD offers video demonstrating how to perform the major procedures covered in the text.

  • New information on the examination of joint play, especially in reference to the spine, provides the latest information available.
  • Clearly labeled photos show the direction of force on the photographs that show the techniques.
  • More information on osteokinematic and arthrokinematic motion, and degrees of freedom, provides perspective on the body planes.
  • Better definitions of mobilization and manipulation.
