Review

Therapeutic Exercises Using the Swiss Ball provides numerous clear and concise illustrations for learning these valuable exercise techniques. We have used the Swiss Ball exercise techniques along with our Myofascial Release Approach and found it to be extremely helpful with our patients. -John Barnes, P.T. --Back cover of Therapeutic Exercises Using the swiss Ball

Therapeutic Exercises Using the Swiss Ball will open your mind to innovative new methods for developing strength, increasing flexibility, and improving balance and coordination. I have been using the Swiss Ball for years and am continually amazed by the possibilities of its uses, especially in the rehabilitation of sports injuries. - Thomas H. Ravin, M.D. --Back cover of Therapeutic Exercises Using the Swiss Ball

5.0 out of 5 stars Therapuetic Exercise Using the Swiss Ball January 13, 2000
Format:Paperback
I love using this book. It is very easy to read and follow directions. The book offers both beginning and advanced exercises that are very fun to perform. This book is a valuable tool in the clinical setting due to the ease of making a home exercise program. I recommend it to anyone wanting to use swiss balls for alternative exercises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spinal Rehab November 12, 2006
Format:Paperback
My therapist recommended this book for me to use in my own rehab program after I had finished 6 months of formal rehab for spinal rod and disc surgery. There are different levels of difficulty. My therapist was kind enough to go thru and mark the exercises accordingly and it has greatly extended my range of motion and flexibility without undue stress on the rest of my body. I am imobile from the neck to the waist and I use these exercises everyday. I would highly recommend this in conjunction with a prescribed phisical therapy rehad program
