We are also excited to announce in this issue, the launch of a monthly blog post from US physical therapist Joseph Brence. We will send these posts out as part of our monthly esportEX newsletter so as a subscriber you will automatically receive this email unless you have chosen to unsubscribe to it.

Having just returned from two overseas trips, one to South Africa and one to Australia, where I met some great clinicians, we are looking forward to introducing more international articles and blog posts in the coming months.

In this issue we continue with what has become a very popular series of refresher articles looking at common sports injuries of a

range of anatomical regions. If you work with students, we have compiled these articles together into a single digital publication which can be purchased separately to a normal subscription. We will continue to add to this publication as new articles in the series are published. The publication will be updated automatically and available to everyone who has purchased the product (see

http://bit.ly/injuryrefresher). All the features in the series are accompanied by some great Primal Pictures animations and are a perfect student learning tool.
