This new sixth edition of Sports and Soft Tissue Injuries continues its focus on the treatment of sports injuries, providing the most complete evidence-based guide for physiotherapists, sports therapists and medical practitioners working with athletes. The revised new edition emphasises rehabilitation as well as passive treatments, to appeal to a multidisciplinary reader audience.

Opening with chapters that examine the underlying science which forms the basis for treating sports and soft tissue injuries and the principles of rehabilitation, the book employs a systematic approach, with chapters covering each area of the body, from facial through to ankle and foot injuries. Every chapter includes in-depth discussion and guidance on the treatment of common sports injuries through physiotherapeutic modalities, drawing on the author’s wealth of personal experience and the latest reference material relevant to therapy intervention.

A complete pedagogical resource, Sports and Soft Tissue Injuries is highly illustrated in full colour, and is a key text for students of sports therapy, physiotherapy, sport medicine and athletic training, and a crucial reference for practicing physiotherapists and athletic trainers and the related disciplines.
