Mechanical Link

“The evaluation and treatment approach presented in Mechanical Link brings any professional using manual techniques into the twenty-first century. Paul Chauffour presents a unique process of evaluating the complex connective tissue system of the entire body. The expertise of Chauffour and the knowledge within these chapters will provide you with the procedures you are looking for to enhance medicine—functional medicine.”—Gail Wetzler, R.P.T.C.V.M.I., Director of The Upledger Institute’s Visceral Manipulation Program“It is almost every healthcare professional’s first instinct to treat the patient’s symptoms locally, at the site of the pain. Mechanical Link helps identifiy the source of the dysfunction creating the pain. Paul Chauffour has created this evaluation and treatment procedure to save the practitioner time and improve the efficiency of the treatment. He is a pioneer who has rewritten the art of manual diagnosis. This technique should be taught to every practitioner in the country.”—Kerry D’Ambrogio, D.O.M., P.T., Board Certified Acupuncture Physician and Physical Therapist
