Updated Visual Guide to Hands-on Palpation Techniques

New York, NY, May 24, 2015 --(PR.com)-- "Palpation Techniques: Surface Anatomy for Physical Therapists, Second Edition," recently published by Thieme, is a completely updated, beautifully illustrated guide with clear, step-by-step instructions that help readers identify and then distinguish between various body structures. It includes new palpation techniques for the shoulder and features nearly 900 full-color photographs and complementary color illustrations showing the functional significance of each anatomic region.

Praise for the previous edition: “Students who desire to become competent in palpation as well as experienced clinicians who seek a strong review of palpation will find this text an excellent learning resource.”—Christopher Hughes, PhD, Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, PA

This revised edition will enable physical therapy and osteopathy practitioners and students to refine their knowledge of anatomy and thus optimize patient care.
