Use this book as a reference in teaching differential diagnosis and primary care. Well organized with up to date information and accompanied by useful photos and charts.

Great resource and a positive addition to my library. Pictures in this addition are a positive addition when compared to the previous addition.

I was required to purchase this book for a class, but have found it to be one of my new favorite resources. Worth the purchase.

This is the first time I tried getting and electronic textbook. I find it a little difficult to jump from one part of the book to another. However, I like that I can enlarge text to help see since of the small writing. It's also nice to know I have one less book to lug around

Good book to use as a review or reference, especially if you work in a direct access state.

My copy was missing 3 chapters. These chapters were heavily referenced in a class I was taking. I would not purchase from that group again. If they don't review the books prior to selling them then what else don't they do?

This book is an excellent choice for all Physical Therapy students.Very informative.Highly recommended for primary and supplemental reading.

Excellent book that I will continue to reference often. The material included is extremely thorough and well organized. Dr. Boissonnault knows his stuff!
