The Human Hand

"No single therapeutic agent can be compared in efficiency with this familiar but perfect tool...

It is pre-eminently the instrument of the artist in all departments.

The hand is an ever present agent of skill....It is capable of infinite adaptation....

If half as much research had been expended on the principles governing manual treatment as upon pharmacology, the hand would be esteemed today on a par with drugs in acceptability and power....

- J. Mason Taylor M.D. (1908)
