Hi,
Im graduating from a Masters in Physio this year and i have scored a job with a prominent sports physio clinic. Can anyone offer advice on the best courses, clinical experience, reading, anything that might make my transition into this world a little smoother?
Thanks!
Hi I also completed the masters and promptly got a job in a busy private practice. There is so much reading I did and still do its hard to narrow it down but one book that was good is clinical sports medicine ( I don't know the authors off hand) it runs through common disorders etc. I also read up quite a lot on differential diagnosis and assessment techniques especially for the shoulder and knee. Useful courses included acupuncture, k taping, grade 5 manipulation and the Appi Pilates courses. I also have completed smaller on-going courses run by orthopaedic consultants up dating on new surgical techniques and refresher courses on assessment/ treatments etc. if there is a decent shoulder course I would do it. There are also plenty of decent web sites offering exercise protocols following certain injuries and the theraband web site is quite good. Good luck
Books I've found useful:
Clinical Sports Medicine - Brukner & Khan.
Functional Soft Tissue Examination and Treatment by Manual Methods - Warren I. Hammer
