If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Thoroughly updated to highlight current evidence to support best practice, Kisner & Colby's new 5th edition offers the most up-to-date guidelines for managing musculoskeletal conditions. Now even more extensively illustrated, it provides principles of therapeutic exercise and manual therapy. It describes pathologic conditions and surgical procedures commonly encountered by therapists in the clinical setting. This renowned manual remains the authoritative source for exercise instruction for the therapist and for patient self management.

A cornucopia of exercises

I like two things about this book. The first is that it is very thorough and complete. Exercises, both stretching and strengthening, are included for basically every major muscle group or extremity motion. Furthermore, the book is divided up well enough that you can find what you're looking for fast.

Secondly, I like the fact that this book is evidence-based, meaning that it backs up what it suggests with references from the scientific literature. In fact, it's so good that it can be a great place to start a literature search from.

Know too that this book is mainly written for people who have some medical background of sorts, so if you're just an average reader looking for some workout exercises, this probably isn't your book. Rather, I feel like the book is better suited for athletic trainers, personal trainiers, occupational therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, exercise physiologists, massage therapists, and so on. Practitioners looking for more info on the shoulder might also want to check out "Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff" -for more detailed ex's on rotator cuff tear prevention and rehabilitation.
