Athletic Injuries and Rehabilitation

This is probably the best book on athletic rehabilitation. It is extremely comprehensive. The content refers to numerous scientific articles related to the topics. In spite of it being printed in 1996, in many ways, it is still valid today. It is unfortunate that the authors stopped at first edition. A revised new edition would have included results and implications from the more recent studies. Should a latest edition come out, I would warmly and strongly recommend it to all professionals who are active in the field of athletic rehabilitation.

Excellent Book

A wonderful work written by 85 contributors(67US), all experts in their field, that really helps me since 3 years i have this book to treat successfully all my patients,not only high-level athletes but also general population, as i'm working as a Physical Therapist, in the Physical Therapy Department of Social Security Institute (IKA) of Greece in the city of Thessaloniki.
