Product Description
Review
"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."

Brilliant! Since I bought The Physiotherapist's Pocket Book I have referred to it often. Although it has proved invaluable in my day-to-day work in an outpatients department, it has really come into its own during my respiratory on-calls and weekends. Just knowing that I can check normal values, contraindications, drugs and pathologies makes me feel a lot calmer when I am being called out at two o'clock in the morning!
In the short time I have had it, I have used this book extensively and it has answered almost all my questions. I would readily recommend it to all physiotherapist - though I think juniors and student physiotherapists, particularly, will find it indispensable.

This book has been the best buy in my student life so far. Very easy to use and just enough detail. I know many qualified therapists who still keep a copy close to hand.
The book includes overviews of the main areas of Physio; Musculoskeletal, Neurology, Respiratory and also includes a Pharmacology section. It is an excellent quick reference guide and has easy to follow diagrams and charts. It outlines the basic information and principles and is structured and presented well. It has comprehensive musculoskeletal & neurological anatomy, tests and descriptions of common pathologies. It includes relevant informative data and contraindications to treatment. The pharmacology section includes an A - Z drugs list with descriptions. Medical abbreviations, electrotherapy precautions, conversion tables and Adult & Paediatric basic life support are also included. The book provides excellent references and further reading pointers for more detailed information.
The only negative thing I have to raise is that the book is light blue and black text. The book is purely a reference point and anyone wishing to study from it may be grateful of a colour copy. Don't let this put you off as it is an excellent book.
I would recommend this book to anyone studying Physiotherapy or working in the Physio field as it has the right amount of detail and is worth the money.

Format:Paperback
This book is a very useful resource for physiotherapists and provides a great deal of information that is easily accessible. It's compact size means that the book can be carried around on the ward and provides information at your fingertips. The book is very well illustrated and it is clearly divided into sub-sections. I can't believe that this won't become an essential textbook for juniors and students.
