"The content will be a lot more familiar to those who have previously explored biomechanics related to musculoskeletal dysfunction. this book is structured in a logical format. Chapters are introduced and summarised, and littered with extremely useful diagrams and figures that bring to life the descriptions and narratives within the text." --Dr. Helen Branthwaite, The Podiatrist
