The Thorax – An Integrated Approach (2018) will update the reader on the relevant anatomy, known biomechanics, clinical assessment, musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of the thorax and how these relate to the function of the whole body. An integrated biopsychosocial model (the Integrated Systems Model – ISM) will be highlighted in this text and used as a foundation for clinicians to organize their knowledge from multiple sources. The text emphasizes the current suggestion from the evidence that treatment be individualized and that clinical reasoning form the basis for treatment decisions.

Richly illustrated with 3D-rendered colour anatomical drawings, and over 550 clinical photographs and supplemented with online videos which may be accessed using the QR codes within the text, The Thorax – An integrated approach is the definitive manual on the thorax for all bodyworkers helping patients improve mobility and control of the trunk.

Australian Journal of Physiotherapy Book Review

“The highlight of the text is the chapters which describe the treatment methods. Spinal and rib joint mobilisation and manipulation, and muscle energy “release” techniques are clearly described and supported by illustrations. These techniques would be widely applicable in the treatment of joint hypomobility in the thoracic region. The chapter on therapeutic exercise is very well presented. It provides a framework for exercise prescription complete with specific retraining exercises, a method of exercise progression and instructional cues for the patient.”
