• “Key Word Literature Searches” and “Websites for Literature for Evidence” boxes enhance your understanding of research and evidence.

• Updated, Enhanced, & Revised! The content reflects the most current information on the science and practice of therapeutic interventions.
• Updated & Enhanced! A more step-by-step approach to the application of the agents makes the procedures easier to follow and easier to understand.
• New! Case Studies are followed by open-ended questions that promote active discussions of clinical decision-making.
• New! “For Whom and When” boxes succinctly describe which patients are most appropriate for the application of a specific physical agent and when administration of the agent is most indicated and supported.
