Assessment and Treatment Methods for Manual Therapists: The Most Effective and Efficient Treatment Every Time


Effectively assessing clients and knowing how to treat them is the cornerstone of manual therapy. This practical and informative book gives clear and detailed information about these two steps.
The book provides step-by-step instructions (including Illustrations) for 19 assessment methods and 24 gentle treatment methods, some of which appear in print for the first time. These methods can be combined to give multiple options for treatment, as demonstrated in five practical examples which demonstrate how the practitioner can apply the methods to improve their clients’ wellbeing. The author also describes his six-axis model of variance among treatment methods, which will be particularly useful for practitioners who may want to develop additional new treatment methods of their own.
Jeff Burch seeks to demystify the complex and often inconsistent terminology found in many manual therapy texts, making this a practical text for readers of all levels. It will be a useful tool for osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, physical therapists, structural integrators, and all bodyworkers.

    Jeffrey Burch has compiled his decades of study and practice in manual therapy to give us a ton of information all in one place. I'd recommend this book for all manual therapists who want to know the origins of certain techniques and for advice about when to use them.

    Jeff’s book is a real gift to the manual therapist. Besides just telling us how to do the techniques, Jeff also tells about the why (and why not) and most importantly for me are the pictographs that go along with what Jeff had already shared for how to do that technique. Having the words and then the pictures was sooooo helpful.

    It is a book that all manual therapists should have.

    Rolfer/massage therapist here. Always looking to deepen my assessment and treatment knowledge and Jeffery’s book is the newest on the block and his life’s work and passion show throughout the book at every turn.
    I feel like I’ll be digesting this information for years to come and hope to one day understand it as well as Jeffery himself ! Definitely a must have.

    I had been waiting almost all through the pandemic for Jeffrey Burch to start teaching live classes again. I couldn't wait to take his Fundamentals class, which I have now taken the 2nd of 3 modules. I am so thrilled Jeffrey has written this book filled with some many great techniques from ones he has developed to ones he teaches and uses from a Andrew Taylor Still technique to ones developed by Jean-Pierre Barral. I really do feel this is a excellent addition and the future in helping best serve my clients. (I am a certified Hellerwork Structural Integration Practitioner and LMT).
