Book Reviews of Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques)

Book Review: Comprehensive
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a PTA (physical therapist assistant) student and also a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. I bought this book because it looked very interesting and helpful for all three. I was thrilled to get it, there is so much information, all research-backed. An added bonus is that it is on my book list for next quarter. I've also recently learned that one of the authors, Carol Kisner, is often quoted for her cutting edge research. So while I haven't read the book cover to cover yet, it looks very good. It is important to know that information on exercise - therapeutic or otherwise is backed by current research - you don't want to pass on ineffective or dangerous techniques to your clients, patients, students or anyone else who puts their trust in you.

Summary of Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques)

Thoroughly updated to highlight current evidence to support best practice, Kisner & Colby's new 5th edition offers the most up-to-date guidelines for managing musculoskeletal conditions. Now even more extensively illustrated, it provides principles of therapeutic exercise and manual therapy. It describes pathologic conditions and surgical procedures commonly encountered by therapists in the clinical setting. This renowned manual remains the authoritative source for exercise instruction for the therapist and for patient self management.
