I like this book. I am currently studying acupuncture and work as a physiotherapist. What this book does so well is give you a reasoned approach to how acupuncture might complement manual therapy. It is easy to understand and the case studies clinically reason through the use of both manual therapy and acupuncture for certain conditions. It has helped me in the treatment of my patients and developed my clinical reasoning. Well worth a buy.

Advised to get this prior to attending an acupuncture for pain relief course in March and April this year.
I have to say that elements of acupuncture are now clear to me as an AHP which I am grateful for prior to attending the course.
Looks to be well worth the money in view of rationale behind treatment choices.

I haven't read this book from cover to cover as yet, but just skimming through it, it seems sympathetic and supportive of acupuncture (the author uses, and is qualified in acupuncture as well). It's great to be able to have some ideas from a well qualified physiotherapist on musculo-skeletal conditions and explaining them in acupuncture terms and providing a treatment plan from a western viewpoint (then you can compare your own diagnosis and selection of points).
