Excellent book, a must for therapists
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.
Excellent book for all
A Book for all whether you are a new comer to sports injuries or an old hand at it. Was so impressed by the book that I went on to do Tim Paine sports therapy course at Luton University.
