5.0 out of 5 stars A cornucopia of exercises., 29 Sep 2008
This review is from: Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques) (Hardcover)
I like two things about this book. The first is that it is very thorough and complete. Exercises, both stretching and strengthening, are included for basically every major muscle group or extremity motion. Furthermore, the book is divided up well enough that you can find what you're looking for fast.

Secondly, I like the fact that this book is evidence-based, meaning that it backs up what it suggests with references from the scientific literature. In fact, it's so good that it can be a great place to start a literature search from.

Know too that this book is mainly written for people who have some medical background of sorts, so if you're just an average reader looking for some workout exercises, this probably isn't your book. Rather, I feel like the book is better suited for athletic trainers, personal trainiers, occupational therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists, and so on. Practitioners looking for more info on the shoulder might also want to check out Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff -for more detailed ex's on rotator cuff tear prevention and rehabilitation.

3.0 out of 5 stars All puffed out!, 3 Jan 2008
By N. T. Southorn "nick" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques) (Spiral-bound)
Basically; this is a good book for intern junior Physiotherapists, rehab assistants and undergrad students. Exercise prescription can be a nice adjunct to manual techniques or electrotherapy and this book will give you a basic level of understanding. However, in the British market where we enjoy complete autonomy in our treatment readers may be frustrated by the very American approach (understandable given that it is an American book!).

That aside, the diagrams are nice and simple and the structure of the book is logical so if you are a junior or student then this will aid you well. For those who are more experienced in exercise provision I might be so bold as to say that this book is not detailed enough.

It is quite pricey for what it is hence the 3/5 rating. I honestly don't feel as though I got my money worth from it (I bought it new and payed full price).

The verdict is: if you can get it second hand from around £10 - 15 you've done well. If you are a rehab assistant / personal trainer / sports therapist whereby this is the majority of your work then the latest edition may be worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cutting corners, 10 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques) (Paperback)
The 3rd ed. is a poor quality text. It is bound as a spiral and is printed on thin (practically transparent), low quality paper.
