This book is aimed not only at physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) student, but also at practitioners, for whom this book is intended as a foundation to understand the basics of different advance techniques so that they may build on that.
The book is designed after considering undergraduate and postgraduate PT/OT syllabuses of several universities. Keeping in mind, the time constrains students and professionals have the in-depth precise information in this text is kept concise and is written in simple language that makes almost each chapter a 15 minutes read. To cater for the need of easy understanding and concept building, all the chapters flow in a particular manner that is recommended by experiences professors.
In my knowledge, it is the only book which encompasses more than 30 advance orthopedic/manual therapy, neurological, vestibular and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy and occupational therapy techniques.
