"This novel textbook is designed predominantly for physiotherapists and offers a dynamic insight into the applications of exercise therapy across the body's systems in disease management and health promotion." "The focus on exercise as a crucial modality in preventing and treating disease will attract readers following courses in sport and exercise science and physical activity, as well as physiotherapy. The book will also appeal to practitioners, particularly those pursuing post-qualification courses in rehabilitation."--Jacket.
