5.0 out of 5 stars Athletic Injuries and Rehabilitation, January 1, 2007

By	Farzad Hafezi (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is probably the best book on athletic rehabilitation. It is extremely comprehensive. The content refers to numerous scientific articles related to the topics. In spite of it being printed in 1996, in many ways, it is still valid today. It is unfortunate that the authors stopped at first edition. A revised new edition would have included results and implications from the more recent studies. Should a latest edition come out, I would warmly and strongly recommend it to all professionals who are active in the field of athletic rehabilitation.
