Riassunto

When first published in 1985, this book was readily welcomed by both students and practitioners of physical medicine. It was the first full English-language introduction to the work of a world authority in the field; it remains unique, but its success has prompted some revision. Completely revised for the third edition, this book continues to offer a thought-provoking account of musculoskeletal disorders which will deepen the understanding of all therapists.

Professor Karel Lewit is a neurologist and specialist in manual medicine of international reputation, and one of the founding members of the Prague school. He is still working and teaching as a professor in Prague. He played a decisive role in promoting manual medicine in central Europe. Doctors and physiotherapists in Germany are to this day largely taught according to his principles. He worked together with Vladimir Janda and Philip Greenman, and his postisometric relaxation (PIR) and reciprocal inhibition (RI) were developed from Mitchel's muscle energy technique.
