Obstetric and Gynecologic Care in Physical Therapy

This book is a pragmatic, basic reference covering the field of OB/GYN exclusively from the physical therapy perspective. The book begins with an overview of the female reproductive system, & concludes with a discussion of the postpartum period. This text provides the knowledge base to supply services to both the obstetric & gynecologic patient, to instruct educational classes, & to start your own practice. The treatment of orthopedic problems related to pregnancy & the postpartum period is also addressed. Physical therapists who have orthopedic-related interests in the area of OB/GYN will find the appendix listing of maternity supports & orthoses valuable.
