Practical Exercise Therapy

This book has become established as the standard textbook in the principles and practice of exercise therapy for student physiotherapists and qualified practitioners. It contains extensively illustrated chapters on all forms of active and passive movement. The fourth edition is co-edited by Phyllis Fletcher-Cook, who has totally revised the chapter on Breathing Exercies and those on the Neurophysiological basis of movement. Finally, there are many updated sections as well.

Margaret Hollis and Phyllis Fletcher Cook are the authors of Practical Exercise Therapy, 4th Edition, published by Wiley.
