"While this book (Hydrotherapy for Bodyworkers) is aimed at the bodyworker who already has a grasp of anatomy and physiology, I will be recommending it to my lay hydrotherapy students. It is more than a text that you learn from and then leave on the shelf. I can see myself, my students and my colleagues, using this as a reference for years to come. Thank you MaryBetts, for writing this valuable summation of hydrotherapy knowledge, and thank you to Handspring Publishing for turning it into an attractive, easy-to-use and sturdy book. "

A review of Hydrotherapy For Bodyworkers:
" I taught hydrotherapy to students at Uchee Pines Institute from 1994 until my retirement in 2020.. I mostly used 'Hydrotherapy for Students and Practitioners of Medicine' by George Abbott, MD. for the basic hydrotherapy text. However, this text by MaryBetts Sinclair is so extensive I have learned quite a bit myself while reviewing it. If used in class to teach therapists, they will then have it handy in their practice for the amazing number of conditions, diseases and injuries that are covered, with the recommended treatments so well described and illustrated."
