註釋This is a well-illustrated guide to spinal manipulation techniques in the context of osteopathic medicine. It describes the principles and theory of spinal manipulation, its use in clinical practice, and the techniques used in working with all levels of the spine, thorax, and pelvis. Detailed instructions guide the reader through 35 different manipulation techniques. A troubleshooting guide helps readers understand problems they might encounter. In addition, a free CD-ROM is included with the book. It features video clips of the techniques being performed.
  • Highly illustrated step-by-step approach to techniques which also provides the related theory which it is essential to understand if the techniques are to be used safely

  • Authors come from a school with a high reputation in the field (VUT, Melbourne). Both previously trained and taught in the UK (British School of Osteopathy, London) and have published widely, so are known names internationally
