Learning to Lead in Physical Therapy. Jennifer Green-Wilson, PT, EdD, MBA, and Stacey Zeigler, PT, DPT, MS. Thorofare, NJ: SLACK Incorporated; 2020. Softcover, 248 pages, $64.95.

Dr Jennifer Green-Wilson is Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Care Studies at The College at Brockport and is Principal of the Institute for Business Literacy and Leadership. Dr Stacey Zeigler is Clinical Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at Clarkson University and founder and owner of Fun in Aging Physical Therapy.

The book is divided into 3 units with 11 chapters in total. The units are as follows: Leadership and Those Who Lead; Leading Others as a Positive Influence; and Leadership and Change: Why It Matters. Each chapter has leadership vignettes from well-known leaders in the physical therapy profession that add to the book's uniqueness. There are 20 contributing authors who add their stories that are skillfully woven throughout the book.

I was extremely interested in reviewing this comprehensive book designed to foster the growth and development of future leaders in physical therapy. This is not only important to the profession of physical therapy but also to the development of leaders within pelvic health, all genders, and cultural diversity. This book provides an evidence-based framework for an interactive workbook laid out in actionable tasks that cultivate discovery, vision, reflection, goals, and challenges. The book educates and fosters change through prompts, activities, tools, quotes, and personal vignettes from practicing clinicians and leaders to explore concepts of:

* Discovering individual strengths;

* Individual leadership style development; and

* Leading through mentorship and coaching.

Communication, teamwork, collaboration, inclusion, conflict, ethics, and service are the backdrop for effecting change presented throughout the book. There is an added bonus of additional materials for faculty use in the classroom.

This book is a "must have" for not only aspiring leaders but also for the development of future leaders in any setting of physical therapy, as well as physical therapy assistant students, faculty, practitioners, and clinical educators. There is information to be gained and exercises that can enhance any level of leadership for personal and professional growth.

Treat Your Own Hip: McKenzie Method. Robin McKenzie, Grant Watson, and Robert Lindsay. McKenzie Global Ltd; 2020. Paperback, 88 pages, $13.

This is one of many self-help books in the McKenzie series from Robin McKenzie of Auckland, New Zealand, who died in 2013. He is well known for his education style that promoted the contention that "self-management and self-treatment of most musculoskeletal complaints is more effective in the long term than any other treatment methods." The goal of this book is to relieve hip pain and soreness with the techniques shown in the book. Grant Watson, PT, continues to teach for the McKenzie Institute and Robert Lindsay, PT, is coauthor on many of the McKenzie Method books.

This 88-page book is designed to give education, hip strengthening exercises, and self-management strategies to help treat hip pain and prevent recurrence of pain. The book is written with an easy-to-understand language that is well illustrated with drawings of potential pain locations, photographs, and pages for the reader to take notes and consult the relevant references. The format follows the same format as the Treat Your Own books.

The book includes an overview of what to expect, how to diagnose hip pain, where is the origin of the hip pain, myths, and diagnostic testing. The reader will find the education helpful in the sections on pain location and behavior on who can perform self-treatment.

The book does emphasize pain intensity and location when looking to the main effects while performing the exercises: symptoms may disappear, people may have an increase or decrease of pain, and the exercises may cause the pain to move from where the discomfort was initially felt to a different location. Other self-help ideas to supplement treatment options such as ice and heat are not included to help modulate discomfort.

The pictures depicting the way to activate stretch show many different angles of a hip flexor stretch but miss the mention of hip extension in kneeling with a cue for a pelvic tilt and gluteal squeeze to activate the stretch. Interestingly, the pictures that show how to gain more hip flexion choose a sitting position as the only optimum position when supine position could also be suggested.

Missing for the pelvic health therapist would be the addition of information on the action of the obturator internus as a contributing factor to hip pain that could additionally have ramifications for pelvic pain as well.

There is information on acute management and prevention of recurrence, with instructions on how to interrupt prolonged sitting and standing postures. Strategies on how to lose weight, general fitness, and ways to increase levels of exercise are sound and logical in approach. The book can be a valuable complement to a physical therapy program and reinforce an educational and self-help method in successful treatment of hip pain.

Physical Therapy Documentation: From Examination to Outcome, Third Edition. Mia Erikson, PT, EdD, Ralph Utzman, PT, PhD, MPH, and Rebecca McKnight, PT, MS. Thorofare, NJ: SLACK Incorporated; 2020. Softcover, 144 pages, $64.95.

The varied clinical and educational experiences of the authors allow for an integrated approach to physical therapy documentation fundamentals in this succinct, instructive text.

The material presented within is divided into 12 chapters, with an appendix of abbreviations and symbols used both within the text and underscored for inclusion in accurate medical documentation. Information flows logically, beginning with an emphasis on the use of disablement terminology to promote ease of communication among health care providers. The remaining chapters progress through legal and ethical considerations of documentation and fundamentals of note writing with emphasis on the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model as a framework. The information is presented in the same natural progression of typical clinical documentation: examination, evaluation, interim documentation or progress notes, and outcomes and discharge.

The authors endorse the use of the movement system to guide examination, assessment, and treatment and emphasize the importance of documentation of a physical therapy diagnosis. The application of accurate documentation to guide continuity of care and to ensure that legal requirements are met to ensure reimbursement and reduce risk of fraud or abuse is also addressed throughout the text.

This text is intended for use in an academic setting and allows the reader access to electronic ancillary materials, and the user must register at a provided Web site and be affiliated with an educational institution. The materials available at the time of this review include 2 PowerPoint files with information from the text, notes for the educator, and opportunities for Q&A and review of clinical vignettes. This text is an excellent learning tool for the physical therapy student in a classroom setting and could serve as a good resource for a clinical preceptor to have on hand for student reference.
