Manual Mobilization of the Joints, Vol. 1: The Extremities, 8th Ed.

Sku: 608-8

Discover the practical foundations of joint mobilization for extremities in this updated 8th edition of Freddy Kaltenborn's classic book.

This volume focuses on the underlying biomechanics and fundamentals of thrust and non-thrust manual joint treatment techniques for the extremities. The techniques were carefully selected to be safe in the hands of beginning students.
 
Advanced mobilization progressions outside the resting position include guidelines for how and when it is safe to move toward and into the limit of movement restriction.
 
Photographs illustrate both basic and alternate grips and the use of wedges, fixation straps and mobilization straps.
 
The 8th edition has been updated with an introduction to manipulative thrust techniques and now includes access to more than 152 downloadable video clips (as well as a DVD) (no audio).
