Last year we asked the physiotherapy profession which texts of the 20th century they believed have most influenced them.

Our objective was to choose a top 20 but because there were so many nominated, we’ve modified our criteria to be the top 20+. Discover the selected texts here.

One of our challenges has been finding images of the front covers of all of the first editions. In two cases we were unable to find any images at all.  If you have a copy of any first editions, or a copy of any edition of the ones we are missing please photograph it and send it to us.

We are building a profile on each book, so simply click on the book to find out why it was considered a seminal text of the 20th century, and see if you agree.
