Principles and Techniques

I purchased the book for grad school. The order was smooth and I received the book promtly. It was in excellent condition! Thank you!!!

Not for absolute beginners

This book assumes that the reader is familiar with human anatomy, particularly the skeletal and muscular systems. Technical jargon like: glenohumeral joint, medial epicondyle, scapulothoracic etc. are used without further explanation.
Other than this, the instructions of various exercise and usage of ambulation devices are detailed and concise.
I would recommend the prospective reader to read up on human anatomy and physiology before approaching this book.
