Review

"This book is a leader in the field for instruction in the theoretical basis of therapeutic modalities and the acquisition of skills necessary to correctly and safely use modalities clinically. A number of modality textbooks are currently available, but this is more thorough in its coverage. In addition, the laboratory activities and checklists facilitate instruction and guide practice in the psychomotor skills of therapeutic modality application. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )

3.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, June 13, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Therapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitation (Therapeutic Modalities For Physical Therapists) (Hardcover)
It is an ok book. I wish it had color pictures. It explains all the modalities used in therapy. I wish they has more concise tables summing up the parameter but it does the job.
