Description
The Malalignment Syndrome describes a newly recognised syndrome that commonly occurs in patients seen by physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists and veterinarians. Although the symptoms are familiar to those working in the field they are often treated independently and their collective cause goes unrecognised. In this book the author presents the evidence for looking at the group of symptoms involved and treating them as a single syndrome with a single cause - biomechanical malignment.

Audience
Sports Medicine - Practitioners
Physiotherapists - practitioners specialising in sports, orthopaedics and manipulative therapies
Orthopaedic specialists and trainees - particularly those working in sports medicine and rehab
Manual therapists - osteopaths and chiropractors
