Belanger’s Third Edition of Therapeutic Physical
Agents is still the best book for teaching evidence-
based therapeutic modalities. In this new edition,
the evidence-based tables have been enhanced to
make them easier to use and understand. It is the
only book on the market to make significant use of
evidence in discussing physical agents. New clinical
cases have been added to each of the chapters
