In our discussions her questions and comments have been inspiring and demonstrate that her knowledge is not only based on reading but rather on life-long clinical practice and experience. Thus  it is no wonder that her book is excep tional  presenting the physiology  the pathophysiology  and a technical description of recommended exercises and their clinical application - and not as general recommendations but with con vincing examples. All three of the sections are written in clear  understandable language. The author discusses the use of the Swiss ball; however  she did not limit herself to a technical description. Instead she set out to discover the underlying physiological mechanisms and has succeeded in showing how a knowledgable physiotherapist can contribute to the development of physiotherapy as a science. Though based on the concept of S. Klein-Vogelbach  Beate Carriere has added so many of her own exercises  descriptions  and explanations that we are justified in speaking about the Carriere concept of using the Swiss ball. What I appreciate in particular is her critical view and attempt to see the patient and his problems from all possible aspects. Therefore  she does not consider the Swiss ball program the one and only means of treat ment but incorporates other approaches as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67959228825653,"sku":"ByrdShop_3540611444","price":50.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783540611448.jpg?v=1794483291","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-swiss-ball-theory-basic-exercises-and-clinical-applications-9783540611448","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
