2.0 out of 5 stars a VERY basic introduction, November 30, 2000

By 

James V. Butler - See all my reviews

This review is from: Opportunities in Physical Therapy Careers (Paperback)

I found this book to be an extremely basic introduction to the field of Physical Therapy. It might be helpful to a student in High School (or perhaps even Junior High) But for an undergraduate or grad student it was of little or no help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opportunities in Physical Therapy Careers, October 29, 2004

This review is from: Opportunities in Physical Therapy Careers (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book for anybody who has even a little interest in majoring in physical therapy. This book gave me so much information on every angle of this career: the advantages and disadvantages, how to get started from scratch, how to save money. It is perfect for a student in high because it gives us information on the classes we should take and the colleges we should consider. Don't wait to read this book.

I loved this book because it gives all possible and useful info about current field of Physical Therapy as well some history of the field. I could not find any unimportant information neither disinformation. I suggest this book not only to those who is looking for a career, but to Physical Therapy professionals as well. I`m personally impressed by this book.
