Well, there is more. Whether you are a trained manual therapist or a person considering manual therapy as a treatment option, The Princess and the Pea: A Holistic Approach to Orthopaedic Manual Therapy offers you a valuable new perspective. Author Gale Antaya, P.T. promotes her belief that the most effective orthopaedic rehabilitation program includes myriad options not commonly pursued in the past. Much of Antaya's thesis, grounded in both research and personal experience, is built on the concept of treating the whole body versus one isolated part. Her own ability to assess dysfunction, developed over many years, sets the groundwork for the straightforward treatment plan she shares with readers.

Accessible, real-life case histories serve to illustrate the author's approach, as well as her success with it. This personal view of manual therapy makes its importance and appeal more apparent to readers of all backgrounds. Providing a viable, valuable option to the treatment of orthopaedic conditions, Antaya may well open some doors for therapists and patients alike.
