The authors present clinical treatment parameters that are evidence-based and have supportive physiological rationale that is consistent with the nature of the pathology being treated. The text is further supported by online access to over 35 video clips demonstrating the possible treatment exercises. This must-have guide for clinicians and therapists enables use of whole body vibration as a treatment and ensures best practice throughout.
