Excellent and small bookApril 20, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Intimidated by Maitland's two excellent but big Manual Therapy books, I was looking for a book which would answer my need to learn how to manipulate without "popping", as 1. it requires years of study after my PT diploma, and 2. it is more and more obvious that such techniques are far from being safe on the long-term.
I am reading it now and find the book easy to read and informative. Most things I recognize from my PT studies and some from my internships by some PT/MT. All in all, very interesting!

As a registered practitioner I would say that this is a very interesting book describing techniques that work effectively (I use many of them in my back pain clinic). However, my edition of the book contains many editing errors which could be highly confusing to the reader/student (eg lefts and rights the wrong way round etc). I wrote to the author commenting on this and he agreed and kindly sent me a (long) list of corrections which I would be happy to pass on.
