Porter does it again!
This is, without doubt, the gold standard of academic aids for physiotherapy students. Stuart Porter has gathered some of the most influential and, more importantly, interesting names in physiotherapy / medical sciences to create a compilation of outstanding synopses about a variety of clinical areas.

Porter's own fluent and relaxed writing style has resulted in his Editorship of this once dry book to produce accessible and clear explanations of challenging topics. Each chapter provides that 'lightbulb' moment when you suddenly understand a subject or find that missing link that makes it all make sense.

If you are a physio student - or soon to be one - buy this book and you will not go far wrong!!

Covers alot of aspects of the course in my opinion, well worth buying
Is really handy and covers alot of things in the practical side of physiotherapy, instead of buying specific books for each aspect. gives structured exercise plans aswell as some physiological pathologies.

A must for any potential physio
If you think that the 13th edition of Tidy's is good, then imagine that plus extra info and a DVD!! The 14th Edition of Tidy's is fantastic.

It is has got almost everything in one book. It is extremley reader friendly and makes great use of pictures to help you really grasp the different concepts.

I would say that this is a definatley a must for any one who is considering' or about to start a Physiotherapy Degree course.
