Description
Copiously illustrated and extensively referenced, it explores the scientific, philosophical and practical basis behind all aspects of good clinical intervention. Brimming with sound practical advice, the book contains: a detailed anatomical description of the female reproductive and urinary tracts together with their associated structures; the physiology of reproduction, pregnancy, parturition, the puerperium as well as the menopause and its aftermath; a thorough, reasoned account of the physiotherapist's role preconceptually, through the reproductive cycle, to the middle years and postmenopausally;. Information of the pathology of a wide range of common conditions - incontinence is addressed in much detail, outlining the forms of treatment available to the physiotherapist; a chapter on the neonate and the treatment of early problems. This invaluable text will be essential to all those studying for full membership of the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
