Hey there

Well, I was born in Leicester in 1981 and had what I can describe as a fantastically average childhood. The usual jumping into and out of hedges, playing football with as many as 100 people on each team, daredevil antics involving running though a graveyard or recapturing an errant rugby ball from a grumpy old person’s back yard, and so on.

I was rather academically unspectacular – I found school to be too rigid and authoritarian so I left with below average grades and joined the army, a dubious decision for one with such pseudo-anarchistic / anti-authoritarian opinions. I was Joe Average army medic with one operational tour of duty in Iraq, 2003, under my belt but generally found army life to be too restrictive.

I rejoined the world as a mature student with the help of my then girlfriend (now wife). I worked very hard this time and achieved good enough grades to read physiotherapy at university; and that’s where the second half of my life took off. I loved being a student so much I wrote a book about it so other could enjoy it as much.

I thoroughly enjoy writing books and chapters etc – it’s the antidote to my work in the NHS as a musculoskeletal physio. The stifling and suffocating red tape of the NHS feels somewhat looser when I am writing so long may it last.

I am also studying MSc pain management at the University of Leicester College of Medicine, have a son, a wife, and a bunch of pets. So I am a normal human being too!

Some parts might be boring, but generally it's a great book!!! It supplies you everything you need before making any decision. I decided to change my career after 31, and now want to study physiotherapy. That's the reason why I bought that book, and I think it's been very helpful! It's a tiny book full of information!

3.0 out of 5 stars good for PRE-PT students but not current P.T. students

I was a 3rd year DPT student when I bought this, I figure it might give me a slight edge in the clinic... but I was wrong.

The book is filled too general of information.. .for example it would have a paragraph on McKenzie, and it would spend another paragraph defining what is neurologic rehabiliation.

There is no concrete thing on what to actually do in terms of treatment or diagnosis, just tiny little tips and over generalized information.

Also there are a lot of tips such as "what your lecturers expect from you" or "what to wear to your first clinical" and stuff that basically teaches you how to be a goody two shoe student.

However, it offers NOTHING in terms of concrete practice guidelines.

I think this book is much suited for a PRE-physical therapy student and definately not for a current P.T. student, you are much better off with handheld books such as "ORTHO NOTES" or "NEURO NOTES" for that.

Also, this book is published im going to guess UK/EUROPE as much of the writing and content seems to be more related to that area. (btw it also talks about tuition costs)

THIS would be a good book for PRE-P.T. students in the UK, but NOT p.t. students in America.

I feel like the book title was misleading... that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. Because if you have to read a chapter on "what is physiotherapy"... then you are obviously not a very good physical therapy student. :)

Good luck to you all P.T. students out there!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content, bad condition
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2019

I ordered a used copy of this book which came ripped, worn and with a dead spider inside and some dirt/dust under the cover. The book itself seems like a good guide for studying physiotherapy and is written in a friendly style, so I would have rated the book 5 stars if it were not fot its condition.
