Description
Intended for use chiefly by non-medically qualified practitioners, particularly those working in the field of manual therapy, the book
provides a clear guide through the minefield of signs and symptoms with which clients commonly present. Its aim is to help practitioners
to arrive quickly and logically at the correct diagnosis and in so doing to become aware of anything which does not fit the diagnosis
and so needs to be referred.
