  • Patient position, direction of movement
  • Fluid body movement and control

The book also provides in-depth information on:
  • The history of thrust joint manipulation as a practice
  • Scientific studies that reveal support for, and against, thrust joint manipulation
  • Clinical reasoning for when and why to use thrust joint techniques in the spine
  • Clinical examination and physical tests that should be done prior to manipulation
  • Drills to develop speed, proper use of the muscles, effective stance and palpation

Includes access to videos demonstrating 45 techniques.
