| Summary |
"This new book is an introductory text that concentrates on a useful visual presentation with minimal explanatory text. The emphasis is on the practical application of palpation skills for the spine, pelvis and extremity joints, showing the student how to approach and learn the skill of static and dynamic joint play palpation and review the underlying anatomical structrues. The illustrations indicate clearly how to locate important anatomical landmarks relevant to manual therapy practice and how to interpret the palpation findings." -- back cover |
