A Practical Approach to Musculoskeletal Medicine: Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment

Fully updated to reflect modern research and the latest evidence, A Practical Approach to Musculoskeletal Medicine remains the only textbook based on the approach developed by Dr James Cyriax to the diagnosis and non-operative treatment of soft tissue lesions around the body. The book covers the theory underpinning the principles and practice of musculoskeletal medicine, then goes on to discuss anatomy, assessment, common conditions and their management for each region, and provides resources to support the recording of assessment and to enhance safety. This book is ideal for postgraduates undertaking courses at the Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine and is highly relevant for undergraduates, allied health professionals, advanced nurse practitioners and medical practitioners - in fact all orthopaedic and musculoskeletal clinicians working in different settings as part of a multi-professional workforce.
