This video illustrates: a unique opportunity to be involved in a master class study and insight into the concepts, and practice, of Geoff Maitland's work; invaluable insight into the Maitland method of examination and treatment with all the underlying philosophies described and applied to one particular case; and, a helpful and informative voiceover which describes why some of the treatment options were taken.
