The concepts, suggestions, techniques of the book from Mckenzie Cyriax and Grieve and other manual therapy authors.

Knowing about the pain, assessment of pain, cause of pain, sources of pain are important for the physiotherapist who is dealing with pain and dysfunction. This manual therapy book explains these details and knowledge of pain.

The reason for writing Spinal Manual Therapy Made Easy® is, the physiotherapist and physiotherapy students should know the basic concepts of spinal manual therapy, from where the pain arises, what kind of pain will respond to mechanical therapy, what pain will not; If the pain is not responding to mechanical therapy what may be the reason for that. The book has some suggestions and concept from Mckenzie and Cyriax, which will try to give clear idea about spinal manual therapy.
