Learn All the Secrets and Help Lots of Jocks

As a physical therapist, I have found this book to be an excellent reference for my practice in a outpatient orthopedic rehabilitation setting in which my colleagues consist of athletic trainers and sports medicine physicians. I think that this book covers many important areas of the field of sports medicine and working with athletes of all backgrounds. As a recent graduate I have turned to this book many times for gaining extra information to support my clinical decisions regarding the rehab of the athletes which pass through our clinics. This book is a great asset to any sports medicine professional's library as it has clear, concise information regarding several topics and situations which are usually not covered within the curriculum of professional education in the field of physical therapy.
