The Thorax
Sku: 8267
An Integrated Approach
This clinical textbook will update the reader on the relevant anatomy, known biomechanics, clinical assessment, musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of the thorax and how these relate to the function of the whole body.
An integrated biopsychosocial model (the Integrated Systems Model – ISM) will be highlighted in this text and used as a foundation for clinicians to organize their knowledge from multiple sources. The text emphasizes the current suggestion from the evidence that treatment be individualized, and that clinical reasoning form the basis for treatment decisions.
Richly illustrated with 3D-rendered color anatomical drawings, and over 250 clinical photographs, The Thorax: An Integrated Approach is the definitive manual on the thorax for all bodyworkers helping patients improve mobility and control of the trunk.
Written by Diane Lee. Hardcover; 332 pages. Features 50 color drawings and 250 clinical photographs.
Wonderful Resource
This book is an extremely helpful and comprehensive resource. It is laid out in a manner that allows really easy referencing and also provides great pictures and videos that amplify the learning from the text. It really helps to tie the functional anatomy of the thorax to the physical assessment and its interactions with other regions of the body. It has been very helpful to aid in clinical reasoning, especially while working in the Integrated Systems model. I am constantly referring back to it and seem to always pull out more useful information each time I reference it. Would highly recommend for health care professionals and physiotherapists.

Excellent book
'The Thorax' is an excellent fusion of functional anatomy, physical assessment and practical / clinical application. Useful for all health care professional who work with musculoskeletal, neurological or visceral impairments who wish to deepen their knowledge.
I found the the videos extremely helpful for visual presentation of how really the Integrated Systems Model works.
I use ‘Thorax’ daily in my practice as a physiotherapist and can highly recommend it!

Phenomenal book!!
This is an incredibly comprehensive text that explores how to assess and treat the thorax, which is a region that has huge implications for the entire body. It includes a deep dive into the neuromuscular and articular systems of the thorax and how impairments in these systems impacts both biomechanics and control of the individual, and combined, groups of thoracic rings. I have not come across any other book that explores a biomechanical model of how the bones and joints move in the thorax and the clinical application of this information. Through the Integrated Systems Model, I have a much greater understanding of how various body region impairments are related and understand how to determine the appropriate region to focus on for treatment. I especially appreciated chapter 7, which goes through the 3 stages of motor control and strength/conditioning training for the impaired thorax. These 3 stages clearly provide guidance and exercises for how to support my patients. In addition to exercises, there are QR codes that link directly to Diane Lee's website where case reports are provided, including a variety of assessment and treatment videos. I am excited to bring this information into my work with patients and explore how releasing, aligning and controlling the thorax can transform the way loads are managed through the neck, shoulder and lumbar spine. This is an essential text for any manual therapist. Thank you for this incredible information, Diane!
