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. Description of joint mobilization, along with pictures, make procedures easy to understand and then perform. Unique focus on spine and extremities provides learners with information all in one place. Contraindications/precautions and indications included for each joint mobilization help to apply mobilizations to actual clinical situations.
