The Anatomy of Sport Injuries

Whilst there are many books that deal with this subject, very few are able to present detailed anatomical information in a way that is easy to understand for everyone from the weekend warrior to the professional athlete; from the first-year personal trainer to the seasoned sports coach; or from the recent university graduate to the accomplished sports doctor.

By using a combination of real-life practical experience and theoretical book knowledge, the author is able to present complex prevention, treatment and management strategies in a way that everyone can understand. The detailed, yet simple information will help the reader prevent sports injuries from occurring, and in the event that an injury does occur, help to treat it effectively, and to allow a return to activity in as little time as possible.
