Dear Hiro
I suggest he has a look at the Chiropractic text by Haldeman on Chiropractic
Principles and Techniques. An individual study in this text illustrated
'serious incidents' due to manual therapy. If this is to be believed
chiropracters do not show very favourably with regard to the safety aspects
of manual therapy. This is not my opinion, I am just parrot phrasing a well
known chiropractic publication.
I am an English based physiotherapist/manual therapist and the majority of
my patients are have spinal disorders. Regards Kevin.
