Applies the science of anatomy and injury mechanisms to the practice of athletic taping. By examining major joints and muscle groups students should master step-by-step taping and bracing techniques for preventing and managing sports injuries. The book is highly illustrated with many photographs and medical illustrations, enabling students to visualize underlying anatomical structures and injury mechanisms, and to learn proper methods for applying tape, braces, wraps and orthotics. The author discusses specific injuries (from sprains to contusions and ruptures), and describes techniques for treatment. He also presents simple stretching and lengthening exercises to help minimize an athlete's chance of re-injury.

With so many books on How TO it's really great to find one that shows you just how without making you feel like you'll never understand the basics. If you are seriously thinking about doing a lot of sports related taping and handling of those injuries this is the book you want to add to your library.After doing sports med for 2 years now with college teams and marines i feel a lot safer knowing this book is out there for others to go by.
