Musculoskeletal Physio

Hey,

I just wanted some help in finding good books which can aid me to learn more about musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. I wanted an all in one book which contained information about diseases, such as osteoarthritis as well as techniques of manageming this condition.

Thanks

Take a look here: Musculoskeletal Assessment

There is no one book for the job but in those results there's a collection of good ones. Also a good nursing dictionary is useful to have in the personal library

Physiobob has some great books in the shop there. As uncle Bob says there are a large number of texts to choose from and it is difficult nowdays to find a text that covers all bases - the field is just too big.

One all round text that I bought recently is Dutton M Orthopaedic Examination Evaluation and Intervention 2nd Ed McGraw Hill Medical, New York, NY. Have a preview of it on Googlebooks. It is a pretty weighty tome but gives excellent background anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, as well as detailed assessment, evidence-based tests and outcome measures and good examples of management.

I see you are interested in sports too - so you may like to think of Bruckner & Khan's book which is great for sports medicine and sports physio - more limited focus.

Have you tried Lotus publishing books at lotuspublishing.co.uk?
Good luck!
