Welcome to the Clinical Sports Medicine Blog

Welcome to a blog that aims to complement the several excellent blogs and websites related to the broad field of 'sports medicine'.

The aim of this blog is to provide a forum for clinicians to discuss issues related to improving the care of the exercising person. I hope that the contributing team of experts will be diverse. I encourage clinicians to share clinical questions, conundrums, and solutions! Because Clinical Sports Medicine aims to be a repository of evidence-based and practical sports medicine, the blog should complement the website clinicalsportsmedicine.com.

However, I am hoping that the flexibility of blogs will allow more dynamic interaction with interested clinicians and more timely updates. 

In this first posting, I want to say thanks to the coauthors of Clinical Sports Medicine for their commitment to this project. Over 50 sports medicine experts - physiotherapists, sports physicians, remedial masseurs and orthopaedic surgeons shared their vision for a practical book that fits on a clinician's desk and can be carried without inducing low back pain (that would be chapter 21). 

In future blogs I will highlight specific coauthors but for now I wanted to get the site up and running. 

Thanks to everyone who made Clinical Sports Medicine
possible.
