I'm a Massage Therapist getting ready to enter a PTA program, so this is a required course. The book is interesting enough, but I find most of the information redundant due to the fact that I am already in the field. Just getting through the course. The book is written and presented well. I didn't have a problem understanding some of the language, but for a complete novice it may not give clear, concise explanations on some of the modalities and therapies. Not really sure.

This book came in very handy for the PTA classes in which I'm currently enrolled. I would highly recommend this as resource for anyone who is pursuing a physical therapy related degree.
