| Abstract
|
:
|
Essential Physics for Manual Medicine explains the underlying principles of physics that need to be understood by manual physicians. The book assumes no previous knowledge of physics, and covers the key principles underpinning physiology and biochemistry, diagnostic imaging, modalities and biomechanics in an easily accessible way. Electromagnetism, quantum physics and atomic and sub-atomic nuclear physics are covered at an appropriate level for students and practitioners of manual medicine and related disciplines. Uniquely, topics are linked to clinical examples allowing easy application of theory to practice.
