Revised edition of: Fundamentals of manual therapy / Eyal Lederman. 1997.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This practical book offers an extensive examination of how manual therapy (MT) techniques work, and how to match the most suitable techniques to different conditions. Drawing on evidence-based research, it explores the physiological, neurological and psychophysiological responses of the human body to MT techniques. In doing so, it helps MT practitioners deliver a more effective and safer treatment for a broader range of conditions. * Comprehensive overview helps provide an understanding of how and why MT techniques work. * Content is written in jargon-free, easy-to-read style, with most terms explained. * Text is enhanced by over 120 diagrams, photographs and tables. * Manual pain relief is extensively discussed throughout the book. * Section 1 examines the direct effects of manual therapy on connective tissue and muscle physiology, examining how MT can help assist repair and adaptation processes in these tissues. * Section 2 examines the effect of MT on the neuromuscular system, identifying conditions where neuromuscular dysfunctions can be treated by MT. * Section 3 examines the psychological, emotional and behavioral impacts of MT, in addition to the psychophysiological affects of MT, including psychomotor, neuroendocrine, and autonomic responses.
