This manual has been especially prepared for the physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath, to use to explain to the patient the fundamentals of good back care. A page of text faces a page of large clear quality diagrams. Brimming with sound practical advice, the text page contains information, references and memory joggers for the practitioner. The illustrations can be shown to the patient to help them visualize what is wrong with their back or neck. Practical diagrams will illustrate a wealth of information on posture in lying, sitting, standing and lifting. Exercises are clearly presented and there are helpful tips on care of the back during pregnancy and for children and teenagers.
