Description
An excellent resource for physiotherapists at all levels of training and experience, Principles of the Maitland Concept of NMSK Physiotherapy: Assessment and Management of Neuromusculoskeletal Movement Functions, 9th Edition, Volume 1, provides the clinical background needed for optimal assessment, clinical reasoning, and treatment of patients with NMSK disorders/movement functions. This thoroughly revised edition of the standard works of G. D. Maitland is edited, written, and designed for today’s clinicians and students, both as a key reference for practice and as a helpful textbook when on placements and when revising for practical exams. Contemporary viewpoints and a resource-oriented focus towards manual therapy (OMPT) practice ensure that readers are fully up to date with all that is current in the field.Companion volume also available: Clinical Application of the Maitland Concept of NMSK Physiotherapy: Assessment and Management of Neuromusculoskeletal Movement Functions, 6th Edition, Volume 2 (ISBN: 9780702075728)

Book Reviews
"This text would be an excellent resource to any practising physiotherapist or health professional dealing with spinal disorders. It would enhance the manual skills and clinical reasoning of any therapist regardless of their experience. It is concise, clear to follow and covers each spinal section extensively with evidence-based practise and thought stimulating case studies and examples throughout." --Reviewed by: Tracy Ward, MCSP, BSc (HONS), MSc, Senior Physiotherapist and Clinical Pilates Specialist, BMI Healthcare Albyn Hospital, Aberdeen, Date: Oct 14
