Format:Paperback
I found this book on the shelf at Waterstones and knew it was a book I'd been looking for for ages. As a second year massage therapist student(soon to study osteopathy) I've been reading G D Maitland's Periferal Manipulation & Vertebral Manipulation as a diagnostic help. In this book the authors (who quote Maitland extensively and as he says in the foreword of this book) 'have brought together a field that has grown almost out of recognition over the last 50 years'. For every joint there is a comprehensive set of tests and assessment techniques to evaluate soundly and confidently; with excellent photographic, clear & concise illustrations (unlike the Maitland books which are pencil drawn and not as clear)and step by step procedure it really is a fantastic aid.

Format:Paperback
Unquestionably this book is core reading material for assisting students and newly qualified therapists alike. Its systematic and logical approach clearly guides the reader through step by step without any complications. Many of my physio colleagues can only praise the author for this and all her other editions. The subjective and physical examination chapters sufficiently contain all the necessary criteria for the initial and follow up assessments with comprehensive literature and illustrations. The extensive use of photographic images for every joint test and assessment technique not only visually stimulates the reader, but also makes it so much easier to perform the techniques. The appealing presentation and layout suggest the book is very reader friendly and is one of the better therapy publications on the market.

The chapters are repetitive. The book gives you an idea of how to assess without going into specific details about why we do what we do and what to do with our findings.

This was part of our physiotherapy course and we were in fact under the tuition of Ms Petty. It has some good information to start you out, but chapters repeat themselves far too... Read more
