Manual Therapy of the Spine by Mark Dutton Pdf

This book describes the anatomy and biomechanics of each area of the spine, pelvis and TMJ, and the theories behind the subjective and objective exams. Working from this foundation, detailed explanations on the assessment and treatment of each of the various areas are given, enabling the student and clinician to differentially diagnoze, and integrate the results gleaned from the assessment, in order to formulate a working hypothesis. The sequential flow of the assessment is also detailed, with explanations as to its rationale, allowing a clinician of any proficiency level to use this book as a resource for an accurate biomechanical assessment, and the design of a specific treatment plan, based on those assessment findings. Recognizing the varying abilities between clinicians, most techniques are described with the patient sitting or lying in different positions.

Principles of Manual Therapy by Deepak Sebastian Pdf

Manual therapy, also known as manipulative therapy, is a physical treatment that is typically used in conjunction with traditional physical therapy techniques. The physical therapist will use their hands to apply pressure on muscle tissue and/or manipulate joints of the body, as opposed to using a machine or device. This new edition is a complete guide to manual therapy for physiotherapists. Divided into four parts, the first section explains the principles and techniques of manual therapy, followed by discussion on it use for disorders in both the spine and upper and lower musculoskeletal extremities. The next part covers manual therapy techniques for mechanical peripheral nerve entrapment, with the final parts of the book describing therapy for regional conditions (cervical, thoracic, lumbopelvic, hip, knee and extremities); and neglected zones in the upper and lower quarters of the body. Authored by a Michigan-based expert in the field, the third edition has been fully revised to provide the latest techniques in manual therapy. The comprehensive text is further enhanced by clinical photographs, illustrations and tables.

Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine by Dos Winkel Pdf

This book is designed to be an overview of spinal anatomy and pathology as well as a perusal of examination, diagnosis, and treatment techniques. Although it is a new work, it uses information published previously in Europe. The purpose is to provide an overview of spinal orthopedic medicine emphasizing manual treatment techniques. With the enormity of spinal pathology seen in physical therapy, additions to spinal assessment and treatment techniques are most worthy objectives. The authors successfully add valuable information to a field already served by a plethora of literature. The authors have directed their effort toward any clinician who encounters or will encounter people with pain from their temporomandibular joint to their sacrum. The information is diverse, specific, and technical enough to be useful to any level or practitioner. This book has numerous pertinent illustrations. They include anatomical and biomechanical drawings, CT and radiographic pictures, as well as cadaver and model photographs to demonstrate every aspect of the author's diverse subject. There are adequate numbers of references to complement the illustrations. Although the references are sometimes dated from the first half of this century, the authors have added chapters on specific research. Besides an adequate table of contents and index, this book provides separate, thorough tables of contents before each chapter. Additionally, there are seven extra chapters dealing with topics from prevention to exercise to the use of modalities. There are also four appendixes that help to consolidate diagnosis and treatment. This work is a meticulously thorough study of problems of the entire spinal cord.Although there is an emphasis on manual treatment techniques, other treatment strategies are adequately discussed. Additionally, the authors have thoroughly reviewed the underlying biomechanical causes for the back pain that is so pervasive in the orthopedic patient population.

Spinal Manipulation Made Simple by Jeffrey Maitland Pdf

Written by an expert on alternative bodywork, this book presents techniques for manipulating the soft tissues of the back in a safe, simple manner. The method avoids the high velocity, low amplitude thrusting techniques employed by chiropractors. Instead, it utilizes the intuitive sense of somatic bodyworkers combined with the proven theory and technique of Rolfing to provide safe and effective treatment. Maitland shows how to elegantly release joint fixations in the spine, sacrum, pelvis, and ribcage by using subtle soft tissue techniques, rather than the thrusting techniques that "pop" the joints. This gentler kind of individualized Rolfing work is thoroughly described within an explanation of biomechanics, aided by drawings and photographs which depict techniques and anatomy.
