Not worth it February 19, 2008
Elizabeth A. Kissner (Wisconsin, USA)
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this book because I am a physical therapist that needed more ideas on treating older adults. I found the book to have all the same information I learned in undergrad and nothing new that I could use. If you have gone to school for PT or exercise science I would not recommend this bood because it is all review.
