Product Description
Offering therapists additional approaches to the treatment of musculo-skeletal problems, the author presents alternative 'non-invasive' treatments based on many years of clinical experience, covering both traditional and modern scientific theories. He has no quarrel with the use of conventional methods when they are indicated. Instead, he shows how acupressure can facilitate post-operative and post-trauma healing, outlines contraindications to the use of acupressure and advises when it is essential to delay its application. As a result, we have a most valuable text for virtually any practising manual therapist who wishes to extend the range of their skills.
The author is a Chartered and State Registered Physiotherapist, a Doctor of Acupuncture and a past president of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists.

Acupressure: Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Condi
3 April 2000
Format:Paperback
Excellent presentation of Acupressure and the practical applications associated with Acupressure. Emphasis placed on how the art relates to Western medicine. Information is presented in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand manner that covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques used by the "masters". Highly useful and recommended as a resource for those involved in the allied health professions or the lay-person with an interest in Acupressure.

THE Top Book of it's kind....
22 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the most excellent texts of it's kind. While providing sound and applicable information for the professional, it also is infinately readable for self help. Dr. Cross is amazingly generous with his information. His writing style in interesting and clear. As someone who has studied a wide range of alternative medical practices, I really appreciate Dr. Cross's ability to boil down huge amounts of information into very practical and usable applications. All of his books are a must for someone seriously interested in bringing the maximum to their health care practice.
