A Physiotherapist's Guide to Understanding and Managing ME/CFS
Myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, is a deeply complex and multi-system condition which has historically suffered from a lack of awareness within physiotherapy education and practice. Similarities in presentation between this condition and Long Covid make this comprehensive and evidence-based guide for physiotherapists even more timely and important.
This guide includes an in-depth explanation and history of ME/CFS whilst also describing symptoms, varying degrees of severity, and how to manage ME/CFS in children. It also provides detailed management advice and discussion on how the information can directly inform physiotherapy practice, supplemented with patient case studies.

This valuable resource offers evidence based strategies to assist physiotherapists in developing safe and effective care practices for patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Long Covid. As someone with ME, this comprehensive book contains literally everything I would want a physiotherapist to know before treating me for or with this condition. This is essential reading not just for physiotherapists but for all heathcare professionals seeking to optimise care for patients.
