Manual therapy

Hey everyone, :)

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good sites or tools available on the net or anywhere which explain or show what different types of spinal mobilisations help improve different movements.

Any ideas?

Thanx

Hi there
I don't know anywhere on the net, but if you get the book from Maitland, spinal manipulations, you will find that he suggests certain mobilisation techniques for certain symptom patterns and gives oders in which he would try thoses techniques.
In the end of the book he gives loads of case studies that might suggest certain techniques too.
f.e. very very much simplyfied:
Treatment for cervical symptoms with Rotations, Thx symptoms with central pa pressure, or if one sided f.e. with transversal pressure towards painful side, lumbar symptoms again with rotations, and so on.

I find it quite helpful as a starting point!
good luck with your search!

hi
i agree with physioindeed
you can also check out
manual of combined movements by edwards
NAG,SNAG AND MWM by mulligan

I agree with the previous posts. I can also recommend the "Clinics in Motion" DVD that I found here on physio forum. Series 1 Volume 3, the Cervical and Thoracic spine and the contents are great. I bought it to refresh all the stuff I once learned plus update it all. The demos of practical techniques for examination and treatment are good. I guess there's a lumbar spine as well somewhere out there....
