Fully updated to reflect modern research and the latest evidence, A Practical Approach to Musculoskeletal Medicine is the only textbook based on the approach developed by Dr James Cyriax that has been recently updated to reflect modern research and the latest evidence. It covers the assessment, clinical diagnosis and conservative management of common soft tissue lesions.

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 team.
