Anatomy and Physiology for Physiotherapists

Until now there has been no anatomy book designed specifically for the interests of physiotherapy students. It is essential that they can study from a textbook which is well written, clear, concise and easy to use. With this book Dr Singh explains and illustrates everything that a student physiotherapist needs to know, as well as providing an introduction to common diseases that affect different organs of the body.

The appendices to the book also provide an aid to further learning, in the form of atlases of important parts of the body. The text is accompanied by over 400 illustrations to facilitate and enhance understanding.
