Reviews

A nice and very practical book for your first steps in physiotherapy. (Vet Nurses Today, 1 January 2016)


A nice and very practical book for your first steps in physiotherapy. (Vet Nurses Today, 1 January 2016) One of the highlights in this book is the chapter on therapeutic exercise. The photographs depicting the exercises are also available on the companion website and can be downloaded as handouts, which can be given to clients for use at home. (JAVMA, March 2016)
