As a training sports physician I felt there was a lack of teaching material that was both practical and which suited my way of visual learning. I was desperate to find a book or DVD that took me through symptoms, signs, investigation and management combined with a list of possible differential diagnoses that was visual and reǃected how we manage patients in the clinic. I was pleased to ijnd that after working together with Andy at London Irish Rugby Club he had a similar train of thought. We therefore hatched the idea of developing a book and DVD that was very practical, visual, and, most importantly, gave information from both a physician’s and physiotherapist’s perspective. The project has taken several years to develop and the ijnal product will hopefully be of value to sports physicians, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports masseurs and all those training in these ijelds as well as keen athletes.

Having worked as a physiotherapist in sport for a number of years, it has become very apparent that there are a vast number of clinical signs, tests, techniques and exercises that clinicians have to remember. While there are a number of other textbooks available, I have yet to ijnd one that has taken me through the assessment techniques to the clinical ijndings and then to the rehabilitation techniques to treat the injury in an easy-to-follow and visual manner. Having worked with Mike for a number of years, we felt that we could produce a book which would provide clinicians with all the necessary information to accurately assess, diagnose and rehabilitate a wide variety of commonly occurring sports injuries in a new and exciting format. In doing so, we have incorporated photographs into the book and videoclips onto the interactive DVD to highlight a number of the important tests and exercises. We hope that all the clinicians who read this will ijnd it very useful.
