To enhance manual therapists' thinking and decision making skills in clinical practice, these 23 case studies walk through the examination and management of actual patients and encourage readers to formulate their own solutions to the problems posed by the multifactorial patient presentations. The authors pause to ask the clinicians questions about their thought processes and to offer clinical reasoning commentary after each stage in the patient's assessment and treatment.
