The Royal College of General Practitioners has recommended manipulation as a therapy, as has the Clinical standards Advisory Group. Manipulation is now also part of the core training of rheumatologists. The text is accompanied with illustrations showing how to manipulate safely, and key references are provided throughout. The book should be of i nterest to all those interested in manipulatio, including rheumatologists, general practitioners, physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors.
