Manipulation of the Spine, Thorax and Pelvis – 4th Edition

Description

Now in its fourth edition Manipulation of the Spine, Thorax and Pelvis continues to support the practitioner in acquiring and refining their skills on safely using high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust techniques.

It also further encourages the practitioner to reflect on how they are performing manipulative techniques and thus focus on improving their skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book

This is a book to have for reference. However, to make spinal adjustment, formal training is still needed.
