A great update and advancement from edition one. Well written, up to date on evidence, user friendly, applicable to everyday practice and excellent video. Excellent education tool!

The manual was not as plentiful of information and treatment sections were confusing. Disappointed in the product after the hype.

Great reference source, as textbooks go, this is a valuable tool and has proved its worth.

Few pages are out from the binding.

What a book!
