Spinal surgery for physiotherapists [e-Book]

Physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists are generally called upon after surgeries. However, understanding the specific choices for certain procedures and having insight into the best after-treatment, particularly in the spine, is crucial. In addition, it is paramount that all spinal caregivers use the same vocabulary and issue the same information to the patient. After all, a significant part of the success of a surgical procedure lies in the quality of the therapy before and after the surgery.

Spinal Surgery for Physiotherapists explains surgical reasoning and surgical techniques to non-surgeons, in a concise and comprehensive manner. This book aims at crossing the bridge between surgical and rehabilitation paradigms for the benefit of patients. It puts forward a perspective of a multidisciplinary, collaborative, and coherent approach that can offer patients a clear picture of their recovery process. This book is a must-have in spinal rehabilitation practices.
