So-so book for treating your own whiplash Dog Lover 1024 Hi,I was involved in a car accident which has left me with constant cervicogenic headache -- for anyeone here with this sort of problem, you know what I am talking about. I didn't find this book particularly helpful for practical exercies or therapy options; this is a textbook you would give a PT student. It is heavy in "medical-talk" talking about the muscles and bones related to the symptoms, but doesn't get into the problems.I would HIGHLY recommend you buy Jerome Schoefferman's book, "What to do for a Pain in the Neck : The Complete Program for Ne. "Most comprehensive coverage of whiplash disorders available!" according to Dr. Scott Cuthbert. Dr. Jull and her physiotherapy colleagues at the University of Queensland in Australia have generated a comprehensive, evidence-based, and exhaustive text on the broad topic of neck pain and rehabilitation. The textbook contains fifteen chapters covering the biomechanics and functional clinical sciences of neck pain disorders and therapeutics. The illustrations throughout the book are excellent, and the Tables of research evidence presented throughout the textbook are superb. One major flaw in the presentation regards the manipulative approach to the . excellent professional resource Bee I don't usually write reviews, but this book is excellent, and I noticed that it had just one review which is negative.The book states on its cover that it is aimed at 'physical therapies' - definitely not intended for patients. But any physical therapist treating these conditions would benefit from this very up to date, research based textbook. Excellent!
