Why do research in sport therapy?

The future of health care is to constantly seek validation and accreditation for any intervention being carried out. A key aspect for sport therapy to be regarded as a professional industry will be to criticise the quality and quantity of research it is producing. 2008 saw the launch of the Journal of Sports Therapy; a great achievement for the industry, what we need now is to promote research and development. Feel free to discuss any of these issues in the FORUM
