Description
Most manipulative techniques require adjunctive exercises and self treatment to produce long-lasting relief for the patient and it is standard for the therapist to combine exercises with manipulation as a follow-up. This therapy manual offers physical therapists the basic information required to examine, treat and prescribe exercises for their patients. It reviews the basics of anatomy, muscle stretching, retaining and strengthening.
