Dear friends of CSM (if we can use the abbreviation for our book)

Many of you will know that we had to create two volumes in 2017 and 2019 to capture the remarkable developments in our field. 5th edition–V1 Injuries (2017) and V2 The Medicine of Exercise. (2019)

These are clearly not up to date. Lots of good content but not up to date.

The 6th edition change is that there are three books now (“books”, not “volumes” to help distinguish from the 5th edition.

1. Foundations of Clinical Practice (2025). If you are new to Clinical Sports Medicine it is what it says. The target audience is students of the professions. You can see the contents on our website home page and on the book site on Amazon. (470 pages, a gazillion photos and illustrations, under $100). That book is just hitting the warehouse, we have copies, it is available. If you have problems contact us via our website www.clinicalsportsmedicine.com For those who have the 5th edition, this book expands on what you can check as “Part A” of the 5th edition. But much much more. We are very happy with the all new chapters–check the chapter list. A key message is this book does NOT tell you how to treat knee pain, ankle pain or concussion … that is in Book 2
2. Managing Injuries (2026 release, optimistically January 2026 but let’s say February 2026 to underpromise). We have finished the writing and the art–it’s in the layout stage. That’s why we can be confident of the date. Thanks to over 100 brilliant authors. The target audience is clinicians in practice–the classic “CSM reader”. This begins with how to address emergencies, then concussion, headache, neck pain … all the way down to foot pain. You get it. If you have an old edition this was always Part B. The manual. This is coming in at 750 pages and the aim is to keep it around $120. Will be great value. We think it’s the best ever. Keep an eye out early next year or contact us via our website www.clinicalsportsmedicine.com to go on a no obligation list for us to contact you.
3. Medicine of Exercise. That will be 2027. Because we are hands-on and control the quality we can only deal with about 30 chapters at a time. That’s why the 3-book model is way better. You can choose what you want to buy, each book is cheaper than the “one massive book” version, and we can really squeeze the quality.
