User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “This book fills a need and should become a motivation for physiotherapists in their clinical practice and reasoning and development…The book is extremely well referenced throughout with up-to-date material and so provides current supporting background to the clinical reasoning of practice.I would recommend this book.”Dot Tussler MSc MCSP, 27.4.08″It will not just be valuable for students and junior therapists but also for academics in higher education to help deliver the core knowledge in this field. This book can also serve as a reference guide in a specialty unit owing to its wide coverage of the various aspects of this complex topic…In summary, with its excellent referencing back to literature, pointers on prioritizing therapy in such a task-intensive condition, and acknowledgment of limitations in the evidence base, this is an honest and very helpful book.”International Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation, March 2009, Vol 16, No 3″The book provides the student, and physiotherapists of all experience levels, with a wealth of information.
