Klappentext

"I've worked in a wide range of settings and been fortunate to teach health professionals and to learn from the best. Despite all that experience, I still find Clinical Sports Medicine extremely useful. It makes me, and my athletes, better. Very easy to quickly check in the clinic. Love every new edition-have not been disappointed."
Mario Bizzini, PT, PhD, Former Executive Board Member, International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy (IFSPT)
