Makofsky’s Spinal Manual Therapy, 3rd Edition is a practical, hands-on clinical guide designed for students, physical therapists, rehabilitation professionals, and clinicians who want to build a strong foundation in spinal manual therapy.
This fully revised edition provides a clear introduction to soft tissue mobilization, spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercise, home exercise programs, examination techniques, and clinical problem solving. Instead of offering simple treatment “recipes,” the book helps readers understand how to think like a manual therapist and apply techniques safely and effectively in real clinical practice.
With more than 300 figures, illustrations, and photographs, this textbook gives step-by-step visual guidance for examination and treatment techniques across the spine, pelvis, scapulothoracic region, temporomandibular joint, and related musculoskeletal areas.
This book provides clinically useful techniques for evaluating and treating spinal and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Topics include vertebral motion dynamics, McKenzie’s syndromes, manual examination, connective tissue techniques, thoracic and rib manipulation, cervical spine manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, headache and dizziness related to the cervical spine, TMJ evaluation, lumbar and pelvic techniques, and clinical problem solving.
This third edition combines the art and science of modern spinal manual therapy. It is especially useful for learners who want a structured, visual, and clinically oriented reference that can be applied in physical therapy education and professional practice.
Its practical format makes it suitable both for classroom learning and for clinicians entering or improving their manual therapy practice.
