"Understanding Rehabilitation After Trauma, Spine, and Joint Surgery" goes beyond simply alleviating pain, focusing on the essence of rehabilitation to help patients return to their daily lives more quickly and safely.
Patients who have experienced trauma or spinal or joint disorders do not simply want to be “pain-free.”
They want to walk, move, and engage in everyday activities again, and the therapist must be a strong partner who will be with them every step of the way.

However, the clinical field cannot be explained by a single textbook.
This is because the cause and nature of the injury are different for each patient, and the mechanism of pain onset and speed of recovery are also different for each patient.
This book started from such realistic concerns.
Based on extensive clinical experience, the author has compiled a rehabilitation approach that goes beyond textbook knowledge and can be applied in real-world settings.

A great strength of the book is that it is structured around evidence-based protocols.
It specifically explains the damage and recovery process of soft tissue, the characteristics and functions of each tissue such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and the step-by-step treatment approach that should be applied after surgery.
From post-fracture healing, understanding spinal joint instability, pain mechanisms caused by poor posture, and recovery after spinal and disc surgery, this book covers all the essential information that physical therapists need to know.

Moreover, it serves as a practical guidebook in that it goes beyond simply listing 'theories' and presents clinical points that can be applied to actual patients.
Based on an understanding of pain mechanisms, this guide provides guidance on how to help restore function, from basic approaches like stretching to specialized post-surgical interventions, and provides guidance on what strategies therapists should employ depending on the patient's condition and timing.

"Understanding Rehabilitation Approaches After Trauma, Spine, and Joint Surgery" isn't just a simple rehabilitation textbook; it's a "field manual" for physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists who work tirelessly alongside patients to provide treatment.
This book will empower therapists to confidently guide their patients, and help patients navigate the path to recovery more safely and effectively.
I hope this book will serve as a solid compass for all professionals considering rehabilitation.
