Routledge Handbook of Sports and Exercise Therapy

About this book

The Routledge Handbook of Sports and Exercise Therapy is a methodically detailed, authoritative, contemporaneous and practical reference source for all those involved in sports and exercise therapy, whether students, established practitioners, educators or researchers. This comprehensive handbook cohesively presents foundational subjects and introduces principles and applications to support the development and practice of sports and exercise therapists.

These are presented alongside new essential and evolving topic areas. Such a blend of fundamental underpinning and applied and experiential practical guidance gives this handbook a real sense of relevancy, and a contribution which can help to consolidate the positioning of sports and exercise therapists as key practitioners in an advancing landscape of health, exercise, sport, research and education. The handbook has been produced to create a seamless reference source for readers, but each of its chapters are also designed to be stand-alone presentations in their own right. The following areas are covered:

  • Learning and teaching
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Anatomy and physiology
  • Pathology of injuries
  • Health and safety
  • Clinical assessment
  • Therapeutic modalities
  • Injury rehabilitation
  • Sports and exercise as medicine
  • Sports and exercise nutrition
  • Sports and exercise psychology
  • Professionalism and ethics
  • Structural and cultural competency
  • Sideline sports injury management
  • Management of regional injury conditions
  • Case studies in sports and exercise therapy
  • Employability and career development

The handbook is comprehensively referenced and multi-authored. Its design incorporates numerous photographs, figures, tables and detailed sample document templates. It can be considered as an essential and topical resource for anyone involved in sports and exercise therapy, whether in their first year as an undergraduate or already working in professional practice.
