Description: This book presents conservative treatment and therapeutic exercise options for common musculoskeletal disorders. Following an introductory section that covers the basics of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, there are 10 sections divided by anatomical location. Chapters in each section contain background information about the condition, specific rehabilitation techniques and exercises, a summary, a sample case, and a sample therapy prescription.
Purpose: The primary purpose is to provide guidance for writing effective therapy prescriptions and developing individualized, evidence-based treatment plans. It is extremely important for practitioners managing and treating patients with musculoskeletal disorders to understand the evidence and literature supporting various treatment plans and be able to communicate effectively with allied health professionals when writing therapy prescriptions.
Audience: The audience includes musculoskeletal medicine trainees and practitioners in physical medicine and rehabilitation and sports medicine, as well as family medicine, internal medicine, orthopedics, and neurology. The authors include experienced and well-respected practitioners in the field of musculoskeletal medicine.

The sample therapy prescription is an innovative and helpful way to provide information and guidance for musculoskeletal medicine practitioners. The book comes with a DVD that contains a PDF file of patient handouts, which provide an overview of the disorder, home remedies, rehabilitation program with accompanying figures, and follow-up information.
