Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a succinct, easy-to-follow and well-illustrated guide to the orthopaedic medicine approach to diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal disorders."Physiotherapy, October 1993
found the book very informative with clear and good illustrations throughout. The authors went to great length in demonstrating and emphasizing the importance of history taking clinical examinations. It is a good book since it contains excellent text and illustrations."Saudi Medical Journal, July 1983
is a very handsome book that clearly illustrates careful and accurate soft tissue examination and treatment. It would be a welcome addition to the library of a pirmary care physician and also of great use to sports physicians and to physicians providing acute care to injured patients." Susan Vanderberg-Dent, MD,, Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Annual, December 1993
book will be a precious help for all physicians who come into contact with non-surgical lesions of the locomotor system, mainfested by pain. It will serve doctors from a broad spectrum of specialities, orthopaedics in their outpatient clinics, neurologists, physiotherapists, doctors dealing with industrial and sports medicine and also all... general practitioners."Slovak Medical Journal 45(7-8):239

This review is from: Cyriax's Illustrated Manual of Orthopaedic Medicine (Paperback)

As a practicing physical therapist I always tend to increase my abilities in the field.This book gives anybody interested in orthopaedic/manual medicine the extended knowledge about how to examine and treat patients with motion apparatus' problems.Some says that Cyriax's point of view on manual therapy was very controversive but there had been nobody who trained so many famous therapists as he did.The book,its containess,should be considered an esensive complement of education in the orthopaedic and manual therapy's field.I reccomend!

5.0 out of 5 stars You definately want this, December 16, 2005

Mark "Henry" (Southern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Illustrated Manual of Orthopaedic Medicine (Butterworths) (Hardcover)

The Cyriax system is used extensively in the Netherlands for the treatment of spinal injuries. As a patient, I can attest that in 20 to 30 minutes, using this system my therapist would remove the pressure from my herniated disks, massage away the inflamation from the surrounding tissue, properly align my vertebrae to allow blood to flow into my leg, completey removing my pain though I would often enter his office on crutches. After two months of treatments I was symptom free until I reinjured myself in an industrial accident. I'm not exaggerating. I haven't been able to find anyone in Southern California who knows this system as they do in Europe which led me here where I can purchase the book myself. If you're a chiropractor or physical therapist and you really want to help your patients, you need to know this.

This review is from: Cyriax's Illustrated Manual of Orthopaedic Medicine (Hardcover)

This is a well known and fundamental text for everybody concerned in Orthopedics and Physical Medicine, expecially in the field of pain therapy. In this book the Author lavishes his large experience mainly in setting the proper grounds for the technique of joint injections, with both precision and clarity, helped by a large number of very impressive images. I learned very much from it in my clinical activity, until somebody stole it from my bookcase! (It is at the moment unobtainable in Italy, but fortunately Amazon helped me!)
