The Physiotherapist's Pocketbook, 3rd Edition

“On clinical placement, it’s an invaluable aid to keep in the pocket”“This pocket sized book is an absolute gem for the new student physiotherapist. It is packed full of the basic (and some more advanced) facts that you learn and put in to practice during early lectures and placements. In fact I’m sure it’s a handy reminder even for experienced physiotherapists every now and then. The plastic cover and size make the book both convenient and hard wearing and therefore ideal to keep in your pocket and use day to day. The layout into Respiratory, Neurological, Pharmacology and Musculoskeletal sections make for easy referencing and finding facts quickly and efficiently. This is aided further by the appendices and clear diagrams and illustrations. Colour coded text hightlighting titles from facts makes for easy browsing and information finding. Anatomy, specific tests, brain regions, dermatomes and myotomes, muscles and bones and common conditions are all covered in this goldmine of information. I can’t fault this book in anyway when it comes to covering the basics of the knowledge and skills the physiotherapist needs and utilises day to day.“Nicholas Downing, Physiotherapy student, University of Birmingham
