5 phenomenal sources of knowledge for physiotherapists and kinesiotherapists
Can you get free education?
After graduating from the Faculty of physiotherapy or kinesitherapy, most of us are sentenced to self-education without which it is simply impossible to progress in career.
Self-education for the most part includes attending courses of individual techniques and eventually reading books for those who have a little more will.
Is it possible to use free knowledge bases and get proper education?
Do we, as therapists, have to pay for every specific knowledge?
Some professional and demanding techniques, such as spinal manipulation techniques or Dry needling, you simply have to pay to learn them properly.
But on basic things such as anatomy, kinesiology, the latest scientific research, biomechanics, general knowledge of the human body and many others in most cases you don't have to spend a cent on it!

Born To Walk is a book that phenomenally explains biomechanics the human walk and the process of evolution of the same.
Author James Earls explores the mystery of our evolution and describes the mechanisms that allow us to be effective in bipedal gait.
Looking at the whole body as an interconnected unit, Earls explains how we can achieve maximum efficiency of our walk and by that way to solve a good amount of problems in the locomotor system.
