Maitland's Vertebral Manipulation : Volume 1 : Management Ofneuromusculoskeletal Disorders
Paperback Edition: 8
The legacy of Geoff Maitland and his seminal work, Vertebral Manipulation & Peripheral Manipulation, continues in this fifth edition, with Elly Hengeveld and Kevin Banks leading an international team of experts who demonstrate how to manage vertebral & peripheral neuromusculoskeletal disorders using the principles and

The authors have written in a way that reflects their application of the Maitland Concept and how they have integrated techniques in the light of advancement in professional knowledge.

Techniques of passive mobilization are also described, specifically designed around the individual patient’s condition.en from a clinical perspective and review the evidence which informs how to deal with and manage spinal and pelvic pain as they present to the practitioner.
