Review

“This is a very welcome and innovative text…pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding in assessing and managing musculoskeletal disorders of the cervical spine…this is an excellent text that is useful for all clinical practitioners interested in whiplash, headache and neck pain, or more generally in developing their understanding of the complexity of musculoskeletal presentations.”International Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation, February 2009, Vol 16, No 2
