Physical therapy is a specialty that is gaining more and more ground and, at present, ranks among the most popular.

In the past, athletes and individuals with musculoskeletal injuries turned to this therapy for the treatment of injuries and for the restoration of functionality. However, in modern times, the lifestyle and the diversity of many pathological conditions make physical therapy essential in the treatment of common cases, in the restoration of movement, and in the effective management of pain.

We could say that often physical therapy proves to be the key to restoring normalcy in daily life after an injury or illness.

The fifth edition of the book "Physical Agents in Rehabilitation" comes to complement the existing literature. It is a thorough work, with illustrations and photographs that aid in visualizing the methods and agents, and with a structure that facilitates the dissemination of information.

The first part is a general introduction to physical agents, followed by the section that analyzes the pathology and problems of patients. In Part III, thermal currents are presented, in Part IV electrical currents, followed by electromagnetic and mechanical agents.

This is a book that should hold a place on the shelf of both the student and the professional physical therapist; a book for study but also an excellent reference manual.
