Manual Mobilization of the Joints, Vol. 1: The Extremities, 6th Edition

This handbook presents basic traction techniques for the extremities and spine with Freddy Kaltenborn's hallmark marriage of functional anatomy to clinical practice.

Professor Kaltenborn introduced the principles of orthopedic manual therapy throughout Europe in the 50s and has been instrumental at establishing the practice throughout the world.

As a founding member of the International Federation of Manipulative Therapists, his work laid the foundation for their standards of practice.

Fifty years after their initial creation, his manual mobilization handbooks are still fundamental references for clinicians and students.
