This journal was published by the School of Phyotherapy in Sussex, UK starting in 1990; the last volume appears to have come out in 2001. I have been unable to locate a website for the journal, but it is available (for a fee) via the Alt HealthWatch database at EBSCO Host (as of 2025). Here is a reprint of all the tables contents for its volumes.
