The Anatomy of Sports Injuries, Your Illustrated Guide to Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment

As sports participation rates increase, so does the occurrence of sport-related injury. As a consequence, there is a need for detailed, easy-to-understand reference books on the prevention, treatment and management of sports injury. Whilst there are many books dealing with this subject, very few 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. Combining real-life practical experience with detailed theory, Brad Walker presents complex prevention, treatment and management strategies in a way that everyone can understand. Full-color illustrations provide a visual aid to the workings of the human body during the sports injury management process. The expert yet easy-to-follow information will help the reader prevent sports injury, and in the event that an injury does occur help to treat it effectively, allowing a return to activity in as little time as possible.
