Equine Injury and Therapy

Summary: Equine Injury, Therapy & Rehabilitation by M. Bromiley
Review: This handy reference manual is in its second edition of print. The author starts off with basic anatomy of the horse, covering bones through to the outer layer of skin. She explains functions of each topic area(bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles, skin, lungs, heart, etc.)to enable Horse Owners to practise preventative medicine and thereby prevent injuries from occuring. The author covers stresses for each area, common areas of injury and the whys of such; rehabilitation techniques--with the pros and cons of each; short and long term weaknesses that can occur; and much, much more!

This book is highly recommended for the Horse Owner or Rider's Library.

Summary: A practical resource I use regularly - Great alternatives...
Review: This is a book worth finding. I use it regularly because of its practical approach and easy to use format. It has accurate and current applications for alternative therapies - including Laser, Electro-magnetics and ultrasound. This book belongs in every serious horsemans barn bookshelf!
