What the "Clinical Guide" book covers:

 Much more clinical in nature. It is in fact a Study Guide or Cheat sheet in women’s health

Adolescence – what programs are appropriate for this group, common conditions in this age group

Prenatal – clinical, educational and wellness programs, overview of anatomy, common diagnoses/evaluation and treatment ideas and at the end of the Chapter – what seminars to go to for training and what equipment to buy, where and how much it costs

Post partum – clinical, educational and wellness programs, overview of anatomy, common diagnoses/evaluation and treatment ideas and at the end of the Chapter – what seminars to go to for training and what equipment to buy, where and how much it costs

Pelvic floor muscle weakness (incontinence and prolapse): clinical, educational and wellness programs, overview of anatomy, common diagnoses/evaluation and treatment ideas and at the end of the Chapter – what seminars to go to for training and what equipment to buy, where and how much it costs

Pelvic floor tension syndromes (organ related and muscle related): clinical, educational and wellness programs, overview of anatomy, common diagnoses/evaluation and treatment ideas and at the end of the Chapter – what seminars to go to for training and what equipment to buy, where and how much it costs .

This manual provides an overview of the highlights in Women's Health physical therapy services whether in clinical, educational or wellness programs. The overview of anatomy and physiology provides a summary of the main topics that you will need to study in greater detail.

More Clinical details are provided for the Childbearing years amd pelvic floor dysfunctions as these topics are not a part of entry level curricula.

The sections on Osteoporosis, Breast surgery and Lymphedema focus on Programs because here I assume that these topics are included in entry level curricula.

(includes full Color photographs demonstrating the exercises)
