I would like what are the good books or the must read books when it comes to physical therapy.

I have read Gray cooks book and I thoiught it was really good. I have tried reading Shirley Sahrammnn's book. It was a bit too much for me I guess.

And where is Jason? Dont see him these days.

Thanks
Anoop

In terms of general physical therapy, the new 5th edition of Physical Rehabilitation by O'Sullivan and Schmitz, came out a short time ago. Very comprehensive and updated. Definitely one to keep handy. Dutton's book, Orthopedic Examination, Evaluation and Intervention is also a good book to have. Both are super thick hardcovers.

Anoop,

You might also try "Clinical Orthopedic Rehabiliation" by Brotzman & Wilk, Josh Cleland's orthopedic assessment book, and just about anything from David Butler/Michael Shacklock.
