Product Description

The Malalignment Syndrome describes a newly recognised syndrome that commonly occurs in patients seen by physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists and veterinarians. Although the symptoms are familiar to those working in the field they are often treated independently and their collective cause goes unrecognised. In this book the author presents the evidence for looking at the group of symptoms involved and treating them as a single syndrome with a single cause - biomechanical malignment.

The book has a special emphasis on athletes and participants in sport at all levels. Recognition of the malalignment syndrome by sports trainers, physiotherapists and others working with athletes can help them implement appropriate treatment and training to correct the malalignment and actually prevent the initial occurrence of symptoms. Emphasis is on the participation of the patient/athlete in the day-to day treatment process to achieve long-term results.

Customer Reviews

Very Good book but too expensive
This is definately a good read. By adjusting my own pelvis in seconds, I feel much better, more aligned. Chiropractors do pelvic alignments on thousands of people eveyday yet with this book you can do it yourself in 5 seconds! The reason why I gave it 3 stars is because, as great the information is, this book could've easily been condensed into half of the number of pages. The author kept on babbling about the same thing over & over. I felt he was trying to justify charging a high price.. Shame, because it is a very good book otherwise.
