Description
This practical text, written by four key researchers in the field, offers an effective approach to the management and treatment of back
pain based on applications of biomechanics. By linking the clinical anatomy of the spine to biomechanics principles, it provides a bridge
between anatomy and practical applications. This highly illustrated, up-to-date book is essential reading for anyone involved in the
care and treatment of patients with back pain, as well as for those studying its causes and methods of prevention.
