Manual therapy is an effective treatment for many of the symptoms of neurological conditions. This practical book is a complete guide to the understanding and application of functional neurology specifically for chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and osteopaths, manual therapists, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and massage therapists.
Easy to read and follow, this book covers basic concepts of nervous system anatomy and functional circuits. You will learn how to test for neurological problems, recognise abnormal performance, and coordinate appropriate rehabilitation for a wide range of patient presentations.
With clinical cases, quick facts and bonus videos and MCQs to support learning, Functional Neurology for Practitioners of Manual Medicine is all you will need for a detailed clinical understanding of functional neurology that will support your practice.

Review of the previous edition:
"Overall this text would be an excellent resource to any practising physiotherapist or health professional within musculoskeletal and orthopaedics from the new graduate to the experienced clinician. It is concise, clear to follow and covers each subject extensively with evidence-based practise to accompany manual techniques. A must have for enhancing clinical practise."
