There are many workbooks for different subjects like anatomy, physiology, etc. but practical workbooks are not available for exercise therapy, which is the core subject of Bachelor in Physiotherapy course. This is the first workbook dedicated to BPT students.
The Workbook for exercise therapy is designed to help and improve the knowledge and practical skills of students of physiotherapy. The book emphasizes more on basic concepts of the use of different therapeutic techniques and instruments in assessment as well as management. It is designed in a way that students will have to practice writing to document practical records. Documentation is an essential part of physiotherapy practice which has been taken very liberally till now. Providing this type of book will surely make into the practice of documenting records of the patients conditions from the very initial stage. It provides a wide base for the faculty to cover all the aspects of the topics. At present students do have to refer to so many books to prepare for the different topics covered in the practical examination. The authors are confident that if the students maintain the record of their practicals in this Workbook properly, it would become their best guide in their practical examinations.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
