Understanding
the “why” and “how” behind the various
aspects of clinical practice is one of the greatest challenges
of becoming a certified athletic trainer. In Therapeutic
Modalities for Athletic Injuries, learn the underlying
physiological and physical implications of therapeutic modalities
with this valuable text.
Therapeutic
Modalities for Athletic Injuries presents up-to-date, research-backed
information in a clear, organized fashion, integrating information
from the fields of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and
the basic sciences. The text provides a contemporary, scientific
approach balanced with the realities of day-to-day clinical
practice. And no other book on the topic examines persistent
pain and pain management, neuromuscular control, and tissue
remodeling in such depth.
Based
on his extensive clinical experience, author of Therapeutic
Modalities for Athletic Injuries, Craig Denegar encourages
students to integrate their understanding of tissue healing
and pain with the physics and physiological responses to the
modalities discussed. Through case studies and three chapters
devoted to clinical practice, readers are introduced to real-world
challenges and solutions. They will discover that the use
of therapeutic modalities is just one part of the rehabilitation
process rather than the definitive treatment.
Therapeutic
Modalities for Athletic Injuries is filled with hundreds of
helpful photos, figures, and tables, and it features user-friendly
elements like objectives, chapter summaries, reading lists,
references, and a glossary.
Therapeutic
Modalities in Athletic Injuries builds a sound rationale for
the treatment plans that prospective athletic trainers will
put to good use throughout their careers.
