Book SynopsisWorld-class rehabilitation of the injured athlete integrates best practice in sports medicine and physical therapy with training and conditioning techniques based on cutting-edge sports science. In this ground-breaking new book, leading sports injury and rehabilitation professionals, strength and conditioning coaches, biomechanists and sport scientists show how this integrated model works across the spectrum of athlete care. In every chapter, there is a sharp focus on the return to performance, rather than just a return to play.The book introduces evidence-based best practice in all the core areas of sports injury risk management and rehabilitation, including: performance frameworks for medical and injury screening; the science of pain and the psychology of injury and rehabilitation; developing core stability and flexibility; performance retraining of muscle, tendTrade Review"This book’s editors have worked in a physiotherapy and coaching capacity for various high-level sports teams, including rugby and football... Divided into six parts, the book offers a series of expert masterclasses reviewing current best practice in the sports injury prevention and rehabilitation field... It is one of the most up-to-date texts available."— Helen Oakes, Chartered Socieity of Physiotherpay "A genuine new approach to the prevention and management of sports injuries that combines evidence based medicine with the practicalities of the day to day necessities of dealing with the ever expanding and exciting new field of practice that is Sports and Exercise Medicine. Highly recommended to all SEM practitioners from whatever profession."— Dr Kirill Micallef Stafrace, Vice President, European Federation of Sports Medicine Associations "The focus of this edited text by Joyce and Lewindon (both are rehabilitation specialists) is the return to performance of an athlete, rather than a simple return to play. Each chapter includes best practice protocols, as well as athletic competencies and a thorough examination of specific, common injury types ... Evidence based chapters provide an exceptional approach to the topic of an athlete's return to performance. Overall, the chapters are concise, yet full of useful information and data ... This work is essential for courses in sports injuries, sports therapy, and sports medicine. The book is intended for physicians, therapists, coaches, and trainers who assist with both the deterrence and rehabilitation of various sports injuries. Summing Up: Essential.

Book SynopsisDisordered breathing patterns may be a symptom or a cause of frequently undiagnosed health problems. This book is intended to help practitioners understand the causes and effects of disordered breathing and to provide strategies and protocols to help restore normal function.Trade Review"...this far-reaching book covers everything one would wish to learn about breathing pattern disorders - I feel it is an essential source of reference and information to all health professionals working in this area...I would urge everyone interested in the subject to place an order..." Anne Pitman MCSP SRP, Manual Therapy, October 2002 "The whole book is well illustrated and referenced, provides practical case examples and sensible cautions..I cannot think of anything they have left out.” Ashley Conway. Journal of Holistic Healthcare: Volume 4 Issue 4 November 2007 Patients with common psychological dysfunction including anxiety, low mood and depression, sleep disorder, chronic low energy syndromes etc., all can respond well when the breath cycle is identified and adapted by cognitive processes. This text is the most comprehensive of its kind and the clinical application of the content so broadly based it deserves a wide readership. Donald Scott, Osteopath, UK This is an extremely well-detailed book and I love how it explores all areas of breathing i.e. the psychological, emotional and physical elements of the process. Eva Au Zveglic, Specialised Respiratory Physiotherapist, UK This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in breathing from whatever discipline they belong to. Anne Pitman, Physiotherapy, Devonshire Place, London, UK As the current title suggests, I feel the book appropriately covers multidisciplinary management strategies of BPD which is an extremely important aim given that the disorder is so complex with multiple aetiologies and no single assessment or treatment tool. Kate Bazin. Physiotherapist, UK Breathing is an overlooked part of human function. We need more information about breathing as it is such an important prerequisite for the normal functioning of so many other body systems. Ken Crenshaw, Head Athletic Trainer of the Arizona Diamondbacks Baseball Team, USA As clinical practitioners we must always be aware of causation, maintaining and exacerbating factors. Abnormal breathing has the ability to be all three of these. T. Hewetson, Lecturer in Osteopathy, Oxford, UK This is not a perfect all-encompassing textbook.That was not its purpose. As a catalyst for stimulating further exploration and for use as a reference in clinical work of wide-ranging paradigms it succeeds admirably.
