Clinical Sports Medicine: Foundations of Clinical Practice by Peter Brukner

“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)
