Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques, 6th Edition Sixth Edition

If you’re going to save one or two books from physical school like I did, make this one of them. Great book.

This book has a wealth of information on various exercises and modifications to exercises that are useful to PT's, PTA's or even personal trainers. I especially love the fact that it is divided into the different body parts and then further into the various muscle groups within the larger parts. It offers great information on the contraindicated movements based on types of injuries, surgeries, etc and that makes it a helpful tool for working with patients and clients alike.

This book was required for my PTA class. Luckily it’s clear and easy to read. It provided some additional images and information about the topics we discussed in class. It arrived in excellent condition.

Therapeutic Exercise is extremely well organized by Body System. Each chapter provides a well summarized review of related Anatomy linked to how structures work in movement patterns. Then it tops it all off with excellent detailed clinician oriented exercises geared to optimal rehab. from injury. Well worth your investment!

Overall a very thorough and precise book. Language can be a little bit excessively elevated creating an unnecessary burden to those trying to learn.

Well written, well organized, and comprehensive. This book covers everything from the physiology of various tissues to detailed descriptions of countless exercises. It's a textbook, but I'll continue to use it as a reference for a long time.

I have been a PT for 40 yrs. - a must have book for those who have practicing a while and have those rare "odd" diagnosis patients where you don't know really what to do, or don't have time to look up EBP or the description of the disease itself. Thank-you, I am ordering 2, one at home and for the clinic!!!

The book is just what I need according to my class, and, going through the chapter I realized part of the chapter 24 in in the middle of the chapter 6. This does not affect me right now...but now I start wondering if this has missing pages.
