Dr Greg Whyte PhD, BSc (Hons) Welcome
to the summer edition of sportEX medicine and thank you to all those of you who gave us feedback about the new look and feel
of the UK’s widest read professional publication on sports medicine. The feed- back has been overwhelmingly good with more than 97% of people approving of the new look.
We have a particularly practical issue this time featuring two practical tools intended to make your life easier! The first is a two-page photocopiable advice handout which you can give to your patients and clients on setting up their bike correctly in order to avoid or reduce injury risk. The second is a template letter outlining a possible ‘Rehabilitation contract’ that you can use with clients as part of a goal-setting orientated rehabilitation process.
Finally for those of you interested in sports massage, check out the back cover of this issue of sportEX medicine for details of our soft tissue conference. We are bringing back to of the leading Australian soft tissue therapists who have both proven extremely popular at past conferences and we’re focusing on intensive hands on workshops. Visit our website (www.sportex.net) for details. We hope you enjoy this summer issue.
