Manual Physical Therapy of the Spine, 2nd Edition, is a textbook by Kenneth A. Olson that presents guidelines for evaluating and treating spinal and temporomandibular joint disorders. Rooted in research evidence, the text outlines an impairment-based approach to examination, manual intervention, and care planning.

The volume covers the theoretical and educational foundations of manipulation alongside orthopaedic manual physical therapy diagnosis. Dedicated clinical discussions address conditions affecting the lumbopelvic, thoracic, and cervical spine, as well as temporomandibular disorders.

Techniques are presented in a consistent format to assist clinical application, and case studies demonstrate clinical reasoning during patient management.
