Product Description
Review
"This is a practical text written by a clinician for clinicians. Brian Edwards is a renowned specialist manipulative physiotherapist who has developed the concept of using combined movements in the examinations and manual treatment of disorders of the vertebral column. [...] The second edition retains the clear and pragmatic presentations of the first edition, but includes new material on the thoracic spine, lower cervical spine, first rib and on the selection of techniques. [...] This is a book for the clinician with a good grounding in manual therapy (or the postgraduate student of manipulative physiotherapy) who is interested in expanding their knowledge and practical skills in one important facet of this field. It is a very readable text but is particularly suitable as a quick reference manual in the clinic as when searching for a specific technique. Combined movements are convincingly shown to be a useful extension to the practitioner s treatment armamentarium, and as such, this text is unlikely to gather dust on your clinic bookshelf."New Zealand Journal of Physiotherapy, July 2000
the new format of this edition provides an invaluable quick reference for all manual therapists. There is also sufficient detail to provide an insight into combined movement diagnosis and treatment for therapists unfamiliar with this concept."Physiotherapy in Sport, Volume XXII, Number 3, November 1999
text provides a discussion of the diagnosis and management of mechanical disorders of the vertebral column by use of manual combined physical therapy movements.
One great strength of this text is its profuse use of photographs to illustrate each procedure. These add immensely to the didacticmaterial. For each area of the body that is discussed, the approach is to provide information about the manual assessment of that area, and then to follow with information pertaining to treatment.
This will make a good companion to ... texts in physical therapy or chiropractic. It will have its best use in the classroom lab setting, in the physical therapy field."Doody s Health Sciences Book Review Journal, January 1999
is a useful book for any manipulative therapist involved in the management of patients with musculoskeletal vertebral disorders. It would also be of interest to students of manipulative therapy. It is a clear and precise guide to the clinical practice of combined movements."Manual Therapy, January 2000
book is, as the title suggest, a manual, aimed at clinical physiotherapists in an out patient environment. It covers in detail the examination procedures, using the principle of combined movements, for each area of the spine, (lumbar, upper cervical, cervical and thoracic).
It is well laid out, with each technique illustrated by improved photographs and described in clear simple text. In addition, in the upper cervical spine section the biomechanics involved in the technique are illustrated and described on teh opposite page, making understanding much easier. The line drawings to illustrate the movement effects on the motion segment are a helpful addition.
...a practical and informative introduction to combined movements for manual therapists."Physiotherapy
