The work of a sports therapist is highly technical and requires expertise in numerous disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of Sports Therapy, Injury and Rehabilitation is a comprehensive and authoritative reference for those studying or working in this field and is the first book to comprehensively cover all of the following areas: biomechanics massage anatomy performance assessment psychology. 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 to anyone involved in sports therapy, from their first year as an undergraduate, right up to those currently in professional practice.
