Complete Manual Therapy: Chiropractic and Physical Therapy In One Approach

This is the first text ever to combine the professions of chiropractic and physical therapy. Written by a chiropractor/physical therapist, the sole purpose of this book is to make the reader a more knowledgeable, more effective clinician. The practising chiropractor will find this text offers him many techniques his physical therapy colleagues already utilise, including strain-counterstrain, myofascial release and therapeutic exercise. The practising physical therapist will find this book equally helpful, as it presents the chiropractor's view of musculoskeletal dysfunction along with numerous techniques he/she can implement into practice. Dr. Oliver also includes a new approach to manual therapy with the best of chiropractic, physical therapy, movement therapy and energy-based medicine.
