About this ebook
Based on the latest clinical research and evidence-based knowledge, this resource guides manual therapists on how to safely integrate adaptive spinal manipulation into their practice using commonly used equipment.
Manual therapists will benefit from a thorough review of the latest studies and theories surrounding spinal manipulation and its neurophysiological effects.

The second half of the book offers a comprehensive and combined approach into the use of drop tables, speeder boards and the Gonstead technique. This fresh and innovative insight into the most effective use of equipment in spinal manipulation is supplemented with detailed, full-colour photographs and practical guidance.
Written by an internationally renowned author team, this is an essential book for a wide range of therapies including osteopathy, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and physiotherapy.
