Animal Physiotherapy is an essential reference guide for physiotherapists looking to apply the proven benefits of physiotherapy to the treatment of companion and performance animals. Animal physiotherapy is a growing profession of physiotherapists who have broadened their expertise from the well-established human sphere to animals. The positive perception of physiotherapy in the human sphere, together with an increased awareness of options and expertise available for animals, has resulted in a strong demand for physiotherapy for animals.

For the physiotherapist, this book provides essential, applied, background information on animal behavior, nutrition, biomechanics and exercise physiology. For veterinarians and others who work with animals, the book reviews the scientific principles behind the practice of physiotherapy and what it can achieve.

Drawing on both human and animal literature, this book includes reviews of different physiotherapy techniques. It discusses approaches in small animal medicine as well as for elite equine athletes, and it includes an applied, evidence-based, clinical reasoning model, providing case examples.

Rosch, M.D., E.A.C.P, & Judith Plowden - This book does an excellent job of summarizing recent findings on how magnets are being used by medical and other professionals around the world to help people with chronic health problems of all kinds -- without the negative side effects commonly associated with drugs and surgery. In layperson language this book tells you where and how to use health-grade magnet products for best results with problems ranging from back discomfort, to joint stiffness, to attention and sleep disorders and more. It also discusses how magnets were used in health care for more than four thousand years and why we are returning to their use after almost 80 years of using drugs and surgery as alternatives. Health-grade magnets changed my life so much that I changed careers so I can share them with others. This book points out that contemporary medical professionals were not trained in the use of magnets for health, so few have any awareness of their use.

Dr. William Pawluk - Purchasing a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy unit for your home is a great investment in your health and in the health of your family. Before you invest in a system, make sure you are getting the best possible unit for your needs. With so many different websites, resellers, and marketers promoting PEMF Devices, deciding which unit to purchase can be confusing and challenging. Websites and buyer’s guide references are almost always created by dealers selling a single brand. Product comparisons can then become misleading marketing tools instead of valuable, objective resources.

Dr. Pawluk's goal is to provide you with a truly objective guide to buying the right PEMF system for your specific needs. This Buyer’s Guide will not steer you toward one unit or another but will help you determine which unit will best suit the specific needs of you and your family.
