This classic text has become one of the foundational texts for all modern manual therapists. The fourth edition has been extensively revised by two authors who have worked closely with Geoff Maitland and have added invaluable and up-to-date input in the revision of this new edition. The accompanying CD-ROM contains videos of all relevant examination and treatment techniques. All line drawings have been replaced with high quality photographs which, together with the CD-ROM and the book's new layout, afford a more in-depth and user-friendly experience for readers.
New to this edition
New two-colour format adds visual interest and clarifies important concepts, featuring an enhanced layout with user-friendly bullet points and summaries.
All chapters have been expanded and enhanced to reflect evidence-based information and current practice.
Each technique for examination and treatment is accompanied by a video sequence on the accompanying CD-ROM.
The chapter on Communication and the Therapeutic Relationship addresses the essence of communication as a tool for gathering information as well as shaping therapeutic relationships.
Techniques are now illustrated with high-quality photographs instead of line drawings, making techniques remarkably clear and easy to follow.
A new chapter on Contemporary Perspectives in Physiotherapy Practice integrates the Maitland Concept into contemporary perspectives of physiotherapy, including clinical reasoning, biopsychosocial paradigms, and qualitative and quantitative research.
An additional appendix examines self-management strategies for patients.
Updated material throughout includes reference to International Classification of Functioning, Disabilities and Health (ICF), neurophysiological pain-mechanisms, biopsychosocial paradigms, current definitions and descriptions of physiotherapy practice.
