Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the effectiveness of evidence-based physiotherapy in the treatment of various sports-related musculoskeletal disorders. Many clinicians aim for pain reduction and functional improvement through various physiotherapy methods such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and electrotherapy. In the case of many different physiotherapy methods, clinicians must prove them and then utilize them to provide high-quality medical services. In particular, based on scientific evidence, physiotherapy is safe, effective, and reliable. In this Special Issue of Sports, we welcome studies reporting the effects of physiotherapy on sports-related musculoskeletal disorders in various fields, such as orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, and sports medicine.
Dr. Jin Hyuck Lee
