Summary: Great book but written extremely technical
Rating: 5
Assuming you have familiarity with anatomical terminology, you will find this book and the accompanying DVD Rom an excellent value. But I must admit that my own needs were particular and peculiar. I had had a painful ankle for several months and was seeking to try (at least) to fix it myself. This book is NOT a self-help book, but nevertheless, after reading the first two chapters (twice) and the section on the lower leg (twice) and watching the appropriate section on the DVD (thrice), I was able - with some difficulty - to fashion a couple of adjustments on my own lower leg and ankle. And IT WORKED! Now, other people might have problems that are impossible to self-treat. But what I'm saying is that this book was sufficiently enlightening (for me personally) to attain satisfaction. And the book/DVD was about the same price as just ONE paid physical therapy session would have cost.

Summary: Simple and efficient
Rating: 4
It's a simple book, good and simple techniques, easy to use and also comes with a DVD that shows all the mobilizations in the book.
Excellent for new grads.


Summary: Very clear book and DVD
Rating: 5
Excellent explanations of how to manipulate bones. Very good pictures, very simple directions. I've been looking through hundreds of sources for the demos explained in this book and finally found it here. Especially good for wrist and ankle techniques.
