Recenzje

"easy to follow and not overwhelming ... a useful adjunct to my day-to-day practice as my career as an independent prescriber progresses"

"In a climate in which poly-pharmacy and the pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of conditions often run alongside, I believe the book would be a useful resource for all physiotherapists"
