Movement Systems PT: Recommended Reading

Recommended Reading

Therapeutic Exercise: Moving Toward Function provides a conceptual framework for learning how to make clinical decisions regarding the prescription of the therapeutic exercise. This text provides evidenced based data and sound theories to teach the practitioner the clinical decision making processes necessary to determine which exercise(s) to prescribe, how to teach them, and the doasage required for the best possible outcome. Throughout this text, readers will learn how to treat, with the use of therapeutic exercise and related interventions, the impairments that correlate to functional limitation and disability and to work toward the most optimal function possible.

Authored by an acknowledged expert on muscle and movement imbalances, Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes presents a classification system of mechanical pain syndrome that is designed to direct the exercise prescription and the correction of faulty movement patterns. The diagnostic categories, associated muscle and movement imbalances, recommendations for treatment, examination, exercise principles, specific corrective exercises, and modification of functional activities for case management are described in detail. This book is designed to give practitioners an organized and structured method of analyzing the mechanical cause of movement impairment syndrome, the contributing factors, and a strategy for management. .
