Denise Deig is commended for her creative and detailed presentation of a complex and controversial paradigm shift that is taking place within evaluation and treatment strategies, as well as in patient-therapist relationships within the field of physical therapy. In the last ten years, interest in the manual approach to evaluation and treatment has surged. This is evidenced by the plethora of continuing education courses offered regarding manual therapy techniques within entry-level physical therapy education programs, and the acute rise in the number of consumers seeking treatment from private practice body workers.
Likewise, a parallel interest in the effects of manual therapies can be observed within the medical community, as demonstrated by presentations at annual meetings in the fields of neurology, psychology, and psychiatry. Even the federal government has acknowledged the sweeping rise and effectiveness of manual therapy by making recent changes in their publications of the current procedural terminology (CPT) and reimbursement codes.
