This is a required text for my Massage Therapy program. It is full of information but does not, in any way, direct you to the most important information. Given the right teacher, who breaks down the information and elaborates where it is important, this text would be invaluable. Given a teacher who just reads out loud from the text and sends you home to fend for yourself, this text is so full of information you will have a difficult time deciding what you need to know,

This book is THAT good. It is the most clear and concise book on various pathologies that I have seen since entering PT school a decade ago. It's a huge book that covers every illness one could possibly think of. As a required text for my tDPT program I was a little put off initially by the price but it is well worth the expense. I have used it frequently when a client has presented with symptoms which just didn't match their referral dx. I have also used it with family members and friends who have been diagnosed with serious illnesses and it has been very informative. This should be in every PT's personal library...you can always ask for it on your wishlist! Also, if you have a chance to take a continuing ed course from Ms. Goodman, please do...I had the opportunity last month and she was a very dynamic speaker.

A very useful book. Probably the one I consult most often. Great reviews of many conditions/disorders with frequently helpful guidelines for practice. Worth the money!

This text is the most valuable one I own. The information is extremely useful and is written in very understandable language. The best aspect of each description of the Pathology is the "Implications for the PT" that follows each one. These columns break each pathological condition down into what we can and should do in each case, and what we cannot do for each case. An excellent source of information.
