COMPLETE GUIDE TO SPORTS INJURIES

Author: Dr. Amandeep Singh

Sports injuries are injuries that occur to athletes in major sporting events. In many cases, these types of injuries are due to overuse of a part of the body when participating in a certain activity. For example, a runner's knee is a painful condition generally associated with running, while a tennis elbow is a form of repetitive stress injury at the elbow, although it does not often occur with tennis players. Other types of injuries can be caused by hard contact with something. This can often cause a broken bone or torn ligament or tendon. Complete Guide to Sports Injuries presents an overview of every dimension of sports injuries. It has been written to provide aspirant sportsperson with a discussion of basic and advanced skills and techniques along with well-versed knowledge of sports injuries. This book provides the architecture necessary to consider the real issues current to clinical practices. It is important to use it as a map for navigating the concepts, principles, challenges, and decisions of clinical practice. We hope that this book is a valuable resource both for teaching and as a reference for sports rehabilitators and clinicians.
