Great book for my class

This book was in excellent condition when I got it, and was the cheapest price that I could find

Outstanding guide for clinical use!

I have used this manual since my days as a student at Northwestern University. I have used the information to revise departmental procedures, make clinical decisions and teach students. The outline format is well organized and helpful. Information is thorough, evidence based and concise. This is a book you will keep as a reference. Physical agents reamin a powerful adjunct for clinical treatment, and access to clear and objective information is essential to making good clinical decisions. This book should be on your shelf!
