This is a ground-breaking guide that helps physiotherapists understand the complexities of ME/CFS whilst providing evidence-based approaches on the management of this deeply under-recognised condition. It includes case studies in each chapter with comprehensive discussions on how the information can be applied to physiotherapy practice.

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.
