Over decades therapies have blended, and regardless of therapeutic title, we
are all using to an extent similar techniques, just with differing philosophies.
Spinal manipulation is utilised worldwide as an effective way to treat
musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This book is merely to present effective
