It is a matter for regret that patients sometimes are sent by doctors for physiotherapy before their condition has been assessed fully. In this article a manipulative therapist describes his management, preceded always by thorough and careful examination. He emphasises that most physiotherapists work in close association with referring practitioners. The examination described would supplement that of the doctor and the findings would be discussed with him.
