Quick Reference to Physical Therapy

Rating:
Summary: Not for Primary Care people
Review: I ordered this book sight unseen. It was disappointing for a primary care person who needs a reference to common therapies for common conditions. A lack of diagrams and explanation of physical therapy modalities that would be useful to patients is unfortunate. It covers a lot of ground but in a very cursory way. The assessment and treatment sections are sizeable lists of test and maneuvers with with no explanation of what each one is. It may well be a fine resource for a physical therapist, but I wouldn't recommend it to a primary care provider. I ended up returning the copy I ordered.

Summary: Exactly what a PT needs....not intended for lay person
Review: I'm sorry to hear that this book was a disappointment to one of the reviewers as he or she did not feel it was appropriate to use for laypersons...but it was not intended for that. I have used this book in the clinic during one of my internships and intend on purchasing it soon. It has a lot of useful information that a PT can keep right at their finger tips. I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to having my own copy.
