Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring treatment options for foot and ankle conditions, this manual therapy textbook looks at bunions, ankle strain, Achilles tendon issues, plantar fasciitis, fractures and sport specific injuries amongst others.
Gyer and Michael, along with Dr Kunasingam, examine common misconceptions about foot and ankle conditions and provide explanations on how to assess and diagnose patients. The book also presents a wide treatment selection for manual therapists such as orthotics, taping, soft tissue and joint techniques and common rehabilitation options, with advice on when to refer patients for surgery.
By concentrating on the foot and ankle in specific detail, Osteopathic and Chiropractic Techniques for the Foot and Ankle is an invaluable resource for all bodywork practitioners.
