Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals is a modern, evidence-based, therapeutic exercise textbook written for clinicians, by a clinician. The content aims to fill any gaps in exercise knowledge and truly highlights the application and integration of progressive resistance training into the rehabilitation setting. This book delivers a vast, well-researched exercise library and provides sound guidance on developing a comprehensive exercise program, including exercise selection, prescription, and dosing for any individual.

Strength Training and Exercise Prescription for Rehabilitation Professionals details a variety of progressions and regressions that allow a primary movement pattern – the squat, deadlift, bridge, push, pull, and carry – to be performed by individuals of all ages, body types, and experience levels. It considers specific factors that apply to injured populations, like pain, phase of healing, pre-requisite range of motion, and strength requirements. The exercise chapters feature many pieces of resistance training equipment, but also explain how to perform and modify bodyweight exercises to achieve the desired training effect, as access to equipment often varies. High-quality images are paired with step-by-step, written explanations, and valuable coaching cues aim to aid instruction and execution. In addition, it also highlights current evidence for rehabilitation of specific diagnoses, including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, lower back pain, patella, and Achilles tendinopathy.

This textbook is an excellent resource for new clinicians and seasoned professionals who desire concise, factual guidance and reference to support the development of their rehabilitative exercise programs. It would be a worthwhile addition to the curriculum of any physical therapy, chiropractic, or athletic training program, but is also appropriate for anyone that may interact closely with rehabilitation clinicians, like strength and conditioning coaches, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and other fitness professionals with one common goal: improve quality of care and maximize patient outcomes through exercise.
