Some clinicians greatly fear physical agents and others look

to physical agents to help them to accomplish therapeutic

treatment goals, knowing that it’s all in how you use the

agents. Throughout this text, concepts behind the physical

agents are explained and then simple “why do you need to

know” type activities are interspersed so that some of the

fear factor can be reduced. There are examples of both theoretical

and practical applications so the reader can consider

and apply the concepts.

First, let’s look at the chapter organization, followed by

the special chapter features.
