The Complete Guide to Exercise Therapy

A new title in the Complete Guide series - Exercise Therapy will perfectly complement the Complete Guide to Sports Injuries and the Complete Guide to Clinical Massage.
Dr Christopher M. Norris clearly explains the theory and the book is packed with practical therapies and demonstrations of good practice.
Exercise therapy concentrates on prescribing exercise as a form of rehabilitation when recovering from an injury. It is mainly concerned with injuries people have suffered, perhaps during sporting endeavour.

As Norris Associates he runs two private clinics in Manchester and provides consultancy services to blue-chip industries and several leading sports clubs.
