"A wonderful job of presenting the specific rehabilitation
strategies for primary, secondary, and internal impingement... A
concise, logical approach to rehabilitating each pathology. The
multitude of pictures along with tables of classifications,
descriptions, and protocols help to reinforce the thorough content
through this section. [In the second section of the text] the authors
touch on material that is not readily available to many practitioners.
..Comprehensive, easy to read, and an excellent soruce of current
information on rehabilitation of the shoulder. This book can and should
serve as a reference for all those involved in rehabilitating the
shoulder including physicians, physical therapists, and athletic
trainers. ..It would be an excellent resource for personal trainers who
are involved in sport-specific training. The author and his contributors
have provided the rehabilitation community with a wonderful book that,
when read, will make us all better practitioners."--Journal of

concise...[An] aspect of the book that makes it better than other
shoulder rehabilitation texts is the emphasis on instituting
progressions on the basis of functional capabilities rather than on a
specific timetable. ...An excellent book for all therapists who treat
shoulders...informative...may...redefine how you design a patient's
rehabilitation program."--ADVANCE for Physical Therapists and PT
