Sport Rehabilitators is a skilled service designed to help people of all ages and athletic abilities recover from pain, injury or illness involving the musculoskeletal system with a view to getting back to optimum function and physical activity using the application of high-level academic and practical management skills to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries.
Written by leading practitioners, educators and researchers, Multidisciplinary Perspectives in Sports Rehabilitation and Training is written to support students as a core text for degree courses that are accredited by the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT).
Mapped against the most recent edition of the BASRaT Education Framework, this book will provide students entering these degree courses with a valuable pre-reading and educational resource throughout the degree programme, as well as acting as a source of continued professional development for those BASRaT practitioners already accredited by the association. Utilising key call out summary points and case-based learning approaches, this book will provide opportunities for readers to apply their learning through chapters and consider how they will address simulated real-life scenarios.
