A thorough guide to sports and soft tissue injuries. As a newly qualified sports massage therapist this book gives me a great reference point and understanding with clear illustrations.

This is a great resource for both students and experienced clinicians. As a musculoskeletal physiotherapist i found this book very informative and with lots of clinical gems. I have previously attended one of Dr Norris’s courses, he is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced clinician.
