If you’ve ever wondered what separates a good manual therapist from a truly exceptional one, the answer often comes down to assessment. Jeff Burch’s book, Assessment and Treatment Methods for Manual Therapists: The Most Effective and Efficient Treatment Every Time, cuts through the complexity and inconsistent terminology that can make manual therapy texts frustrating to use — and replaces it with clear, practical guidance.
Inside you’ll find:

  • Step-by-step instructions for 19 assessment methods and 24 gentle treatment techniques
  • Illustrations throughout to support each method
  • Some techniques appearing in print for the very first time
  • Five real-world examples showing how methods can be combined and applied
  • Jeff’s unique six-axis model for practitioners who want to develop new treatment methods of their own

Whether you’re a massage therapist, osteopath, chiropractor, physical therapist, structural integrator, or any kind of bodyworker, this is a resource you’ll return to again and again.
