Review:

"This book could be useful for instruction of professional physical therapist students, and physical therapists assistant as well as beginning physical therapist practitioners..." (Physical Therapy 2003-05-01)

"This book offers the reader an introductory resource on joint mobilization techniques and replicates the work of previous authors. The exclusion of other portions of the clinical examination process make this book more suitable for a class specific to manual therapy techniques or as a supplemental text to a comprehensive clinical exam text that includes postural assessment, gait analysis, patient history techniques etc. I see it as a general reference for the orthopedic physical therapist."
