Aquatic Therapy

This book was amazing for the physical therapy setting. It had explanations on exercises, muscle groups used, and innervation levels. The book also had specific sections on diagnosis-specific exercises. Easy to use and patients loved the out-of-the-ordinary exercises!

THE BEST ONE OUT THERE

THE REASON I READ THE BOOK IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER NAMED ANDREA BATES IT WAS A GOOD BOOK L.

The best I've seen.

This is the best of the hydrotherapy books that I was able to find at the National Institute of Health Library in Washington, DC.
