DESCRIPTION:
This book just doesn't deliver I am very disappointed with this book. There are no joint manipulation techniques at all in this book, eventhough it's what the title suggests. The book doesn't even show all the basic examination techniques of the upper and lower extremities, therefore I wouldn't even recommend this book to a beginning physiotherapy student. And if you are a student of manual therapy then don't even bother looking at itit's not worth your money.
