- We are happy to be able to provide a further milestone in AK education with this booklet. The book is a combined effort, drawing on the experience of all three practitioners, who all have specialities in different fields of medicine. In all previous AK educational material, the description of a large number of muscles have been deliberately omitted on the basis that they would seldom be used in general medical practice. However, the AK practice specialising in manual medicine represents a specific area of AK, with the need for local examination and treatment often being the priority. For this reason, this book endeavours to provide a more complete portrayal of all the muscles that may be of value for such manually oriented practices. For reasons of simplicity we have listed the muscles in alphabetical order. A list of abbreviations used within the text can be found on page 7. The important reflexes and nutritional associations are described wherever possible for each muscle. These associations are missing among many of the smaller muscles - for the simple reason that investigations remain incomplete within ICAK. One of the most frequent reasons for an examination of these small muscles in the manual medicine practice would be pain through trauma and accident, as well as rheumatoid and degenerative factors. In addition, some neurological conditions may be implicated. Neural therapy is recommended and depicted in some instances within the book. Whilst neural therapy is not commonly used amongst AK-practitioners in the United Kingdom and United States of America, it is a valuable option to be considered. It is worth seeking out local free-thinking physicians who may co-operate should such treatment be indicated
