Palpatory Literacy Summary

Palpatory Literacy: Learning to Assess Musculoskeletal Dysfunction by Touch by Leon Chaitow

Practitioners in the field of manipualtive therapy are only as good as the level of their palpatory skills - knowing what it is they are touching and feeling. Most UK courses give insufficient teaching time to this, according to this book, which fills the need for a text book on the subject. It shows how and what to do to assess and diagnose by feel alone.
