Recent Advances in Physiotherapy

The purpose of this book, the second series, is to enable those with an interest in physiotherapy to keep up to date with recent research relating to the profession, and in particular to provide information about the current bases of evidence for treatments frequently used for common conditions. The first book was restricted to the evidence-base for physiotherapy for neurological conditions; this one also deals with other conditions treated by physiotherapists, including respiratory, musculoskeletal, surgical, orthopaedic, post-operative and pain problems. This book will be of interest to a wide range of physiotherapists, both undergraduate and postgraduate, to those who refer their patients for physiotherapy, and to administrators and others who commission physiotherapy services.
