I am a student in physical therapy school currently on my senior rotation. I'm looking for information on joint mobilization / manipulation with pediatric patients. Does anyone have any information on this topic?? Thanks!

There is limited amount in Osteopathic and chiropractic literature...as a rule, the manipulation of a child is to be avoided and the prudent physician/manual therapist should choose myofascial or muscle energy techniques.
There are many chiropractors who specialize in this practice...I would not recommend it.
