Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques

Rating:
Summary: This is a good foundation book
Review: I got this book years ago in an earlier edition in Physical therapy school. I found it very helpful since it is full of ideas for treatment and exercises for some different diagnoses. Of course, I used it a lot in school in a few courses, it was invaluable in the clinic when I was doing a lot of outpatient orthopaedic patients. Since I am now doing inpatient acute patients I have rarely used this book, but I still have it as a reference because you never know when it may be useful to brush up on. I recommend that you get this book if you are in school or think that clinical ortho patients are your niche.

Summary: Cutting corners
Review: The 3rd ed. is a poor quality text. It is bound as a spiral and is printed on thin (practically transparent), low quality paper.

Summary: Here's why I liked it.
Review: This book is evidence-based and does a really thorough job of covering the many different aspects of exercise for various medical conditions. It is laid out quite well and is easy to navigate around when one uses it as a reference. References are plentiful which more than adequately justify the book's content. Also recommend "The Multifidus Back Pain Solution" for more detailed, evidence-based execise for your back pain patients.

Summary: Excellent resource
Review: This book is full of information, although the pages are so paper thin, forget about highlighting anything! I found the way the information is presented on the dry side. Facts are listed in an a,b,c, etc. format. By the time I get to h or I, I already forgot what they were trying to explain.
