The years since the publication of David Butler's Mobilisation of the Nervous System have seen the rapid growth and influence of the powerful and linked forces of the neurobiological revolution, the evidence-based

movement, restless patients and

clinicians.

In The Sensitive Nervous System Butler has brought together the key elements of best current practice for manual therapists and presented them within an immediately accessible clinical framework. He encourages an evidence-based approach,

underpinned by basic science. In this

book, his aim is to demystify the scientific processes behind neurodynamics and the pain revolution and give therapists practical tools for clinical use.

More than giving recipes for treatment in the clinic, The Sensitive Nervous System encourages movement-based therapists of any persuasion to view their work, patients and methods through fresh eyes.

Through his own rich clinical and teaching experience, Butler invites clinicians to be inventive, scientific andnmethodical in order to benefit all stakeholders in the patient's outcome.
