"Best Sports Medicine Book I've Ever Used! August 22, 2001; Reviewer: A reader from Vancouver, B.C. Canada; The Second edition of Clinical Sports Medicine is the best reference book I have come across as an athletic therapist and professional fitness and lifestyle consultant. I find it very easy to navigate with great illustrations and information. The references are all very recent and evidence-based so you feel confident in following the authors' recommendations. It is particularly good value at 67 US dollars - most hardcover books of this size are about twice that price. The corresponding website has updated information, including relevant published papers, which I find quite helpful also. These authors have really done a fabulous job of classifying sports medicine information in a logical and easy-to-use format. I highly recommend it to anyone in the sports, fitness, and/or health fields! 2nd edition already a big hit, November 27, 2000; Reviewer: Karim Khan from Vancouver, BC Canada; Author review; The 2nd edition (2001) is now readily available worldwide. It contains 7 new chapters and every chapter has been fully updated. It contains practical guidelines for shoulder pain management (with Ben Kibler), new management of anterior knee pain (with Jenny McConnell) and guidelines as to how to teach pelvic stability for patients in treatment of back pain. It includes a complete update of management of tendon injuries incorporating recent advances in treatment (with Jill Cook, Hakan Alfredson, etc). Medical chapters include updates on drugs in sport, managing heat illness and ethics in sport. Large, practical chapters describe sports medicine care for the female athlete, the pediatric athlete, the disabled athlete and seniors. This 918 page hardcover 2nd edition, with over 900 illustrations, is extremely good value. We would argue the best value of any clinical sports medicine text, and this is reflected by this edition selling almost 10,000 copies already. The New Zealand Journal of Sports Medicine recently reviewed this edition and said 'The world's best sports medicine book just got better'....Check it out for yourself! Excellent practical book for clinicians, June 28, 2000; Reviewer: A reader from seatle, USA; This very practical book that uses symptom-oriented chapters to provide very helpful guidance to anyone who sees sports medicine patients. It is useful for physical therapists (like me) but my colleagues who are doctors and masseurs also use it. I thoroughly recommend it and find its illustrations of physical examination particularly useful.
Univardis, July 2007
Logical structure and good format ... a must for any clinician in
sports medicine including surgeons, physicians, GPSIs and
physiotherapists.

Format:Hardcover
This second edition of the book is much improved, largely due to increased collaboration with sports medicine professionals, mainly from Australia. The chapters are updated and expanded and some new chapters are added. The improvement I liked most was the rehab programs which have been addeed to the text. As a sports physio, I found this invaluable. Essential reading for all involved in sports medicine.

Format:Hardcover
I had the first edition and this 2nd edition is a wonderful expansion and update. As a practicing physiotherapist I find myself referring to it every day. The illustrated physical examinations for each body part are extremely helpful and the clinical perspectives at the start of each chapter are great. I love the use of tables and figures - it has the most illustrations of any book like this I have seen. Great value, thanks a lot!

Format:DVD
Most of my fellow reviewers here seem to have missed that they are reviewing the book instead of the DVD, as listed.
I must say I am very disappointed in the DVD. Whilst it has pretty comprehensive review of examinations of the upper limb, in the lower limb only the knee gets any real attention. The hip and ankle are almost completely left out, apart from taping of the latter!
When an area is touched upon it is pretty superficially discussed. Basically there is a quick run through of the examination of that area, but no discussion of the theory accompanying it.
In short, for the areas actually included, this DVD would serve as nothing more than an aide memoire and certainly won't teach you examinations of pat.
It is a shame - the accompanying book is excellent and this DVD had the potential to be an excellent resource for the student sports practitioner.
I hope therefore that the shortcomings are addressed in future editions of this media.
