The handbook starts with in-depth explanations of the different principles that form the foundation of the profession and then deals, in close detail, with key body areas, the injuries that affect them, and effective treatment methods.

This book is essential for anyone involved in sports therapy, from their first year as an undergraduate right up to those currently in professional practice.
