This overview deals with typical dysfunctions or pain syndromes from the viewpoint of the three seminars for physicians or physiotherapists of the German Society of Manual Medicine. A distinction is made between general, orientation and specific examinations and therapeutic approaches to joints and muscles. Regional relationships are taken into consideration.
