Overview
This text is aimed at health practitioners dealing with the primary care of athletes, explaining how to recognize relevant symptoms and understand the course of treatment prescribed. Key features include: coverage of non-orthopaedic issues that can affect an athlete's health and performance just as seriously as musculoskeletal injuries can; hands-on advice about working with athletes who require ongoing, practical interventions, such as those with diabetes or asthma; and discussion of the psychological aspects of working with teenagers, athletes undergoing rehab or burnout, and those displaying addictive behaviours.
