By 
Glynn Bassinder (Elland, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
An excellent and concise book. A must for all those interested in Sports Therapy or just Sports Massage. On e of the best books on the market, not as intense as Mel Cash's books but more readable . Excellent work Mr Paine.
