Product Description

Product Description

This book expands on the widely used concept of combined movements and incorporates both grade IV-manipulative thrust techniques and muscle energy/proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques. The book is the first to include chapters on cervical artery dysfunction (VBI) and upper cervical instability with clinical chapters on the regional management of spinal dysfunction. The first section of the book discusses the underlying theoretical concepts underpinning combined movements theory and manipulation, with the second section offering a comprehensive manual of tests and treatments for each region of the spine. Revision multiple choice tests are at the ends of the theoretical chapters. A chapter on home exercise is included along with a DVD of video clips and clinical reasoning form. The book will provide readers with a comprehensive resource to start using combined movements theory immediately and is a real substitute to attending a course on the method. The book is an update, expansion and development of the Manual of Combined Movements published by Brian Edwards.

This is an excellent text for all manual therapists wishing to learn or consolidate their knowledge of combined movement theory.

It details not only the theory but also gives great practical tips for assessment and treatment using the combined movement approach. There is also an excellent chapter by Roger Kerry in the book on the cervical artery and its consideration with cervical treatment techniques.

This is one of the only books i have read which describes the rational for high velocity thrust techniques and how to perform them in a way which is easy to read and easy to remember.

One of the most useful chapters i found in this book was on the neurological examination. Its much more in depth than what is taught at undergraduate level but still easily readable. Its a great reference text for work.

I am a sports therapist and have found this book revolutionary. This is the first book I have read on manipulation and manual therapy that makes the approach sensible. The concept is clever but simple when you practice it and the safe integration of manipulation into my practice of mobilisation has made manipulation seem safe, gentle and easy.

The MET section is excellent and the new work on haemodynamics is the first place I have seen this work in such depth. The upper cervical spine section is really detailed too.

Top quality DVD to help with techniques.

Can't recommend it enough.
