Synopsis

A major revision of this well-known textbook. Since the fourth edition there have been many significant clinical developments, and the task of covering these has encouraged the author to reorganise his approach. Much has been rewritten, many new illustrations added and a new format chosen. It remains as ever an indispensable guide for every therapist seeking an account of the theory and practice of vertebral manipulation.

About this title

From the Publisher:

First published in 1964, this best-selling book is one of the foundation texts for all modern manual therapists, the previous edition alone having sold over 30,000 copies. Maitland's Concept of Manipulative Therapy is established as one of the standard approaches to spinal manipulative techniques. Maitland's Vertebral Manipulation is an indispensible and authoritative guide to this approach. For the sixth edition, Geoff Maitland is joined by three co-authors who have worked closely with him, and add invaluable input to the updating and revision of this classic text. Redesigned in a new colour format, the book also includes expanded text with a new chapter on prognosis and new material to further explain the Maitland concept and method. This long awaited text is sure to continue as the essential cornerstone for all physiotherapy students and practitioners.
