For physiotherapy students and clinicans, the book provides an extensive overview of the features of muscle, nerve and connective tissues as they relate to the theory and practice of physiotherapy. These tissues are discussed in terms of the inter-relationship of basic research and clinical decision-making. Physiotherapists will have available a unified perspective to see how theory relates to clinical practice. The book offers basic science findings about tissue along with the development of sound rationales using a clinical decision model.
