Publisher Churchill Livingstone
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 film
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 Combined Movements Manual published by Brian Edwards.
