Customer Reviews

An Excellent Textbook
This textbook is a must for all physio students studying their respiratory modules. It is written in a very clear and concise manner with a lot of unnecessary detail rightly excluded.

Throughout the authors make regular reference to key physio points, also listing secondary factors to consider in your practice.

All aspects are covered in a very unintimidating fashion which actually makes the text interesting to read instead of a chore.

I cannot recommend this text enough.
