This is a must-have multi-disciplinary and deeply comprehensive resource on the treatment and management of musculoskeletal dysfunction in the neck and head. Written for manual therapy clinicians, researchers, and educators, it covers an extensive range of conditions.

Musculoskeletal neck and head pain is a one of the highest health burdens faced globally. Management of people with this pain is complex, multi-factorial, and challenging. Scientific evidence continues to grow in this area but can often be confusing or contradictory. This multi-contributed compendium is a much-needed resource for all healthcare professionals, researchers, and educators treating neck and head dysfunction.
Taking a holistic and patient-centred approach, this vital, interdisciplinary book discusses the background of these dysfunctions and reviews specific conditions of the neck and head. It also includes evidence-based clinical assessment and management, clinical reasoning, and is supplemented with patient stories and supporting resources.
