Very clear book and DVD
Excellent explanations of how to manipulate bones. Very good pictures, very simple directions. I've been looking through hundreds of sources for the demos explained in this book and finally found it here. Especially good for wrist and ankle techniques.

Physical Examination of the Spine and Extremities

Stanley Hoppenfeld

Appleton & Lange, 1976

Classic, gold standard
There is only one Hoppenfeld. For what it is, it's the best. It's all diagnosis. Not a word on treatment. But it gives a good review of not just the physical exam but also the underlying anatomy and biomechanics. Two other books are worth getting. Magee's ...

Warren Hammer

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Inc., 2006

The only (and best) soft tissue book by its Master

Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual, The Upper Extremities

Janet & Simons, David Travell

Williams & Wilkins, 1983

Definitive text on muscular related pain
This book may possibly be one of the largest milestones in pain elimination ever written. I often refer to it (or them) as the "bibles" because the buck stops here when it comes to pain! We are not talking about pain management here, we are talking about PAIN ...

Hollinshead's Functional Anatomy of the Limbs and Back

David B. Jenkins

Saunders, 2002

This book is a must!
