title: Practically packed with practical practice information.
abstract: Those of us in primary care sports medicine love variety. Where else could you treat, in the course of a workday, a 14-year-old gymnast with back pain, an elite college soccer player with a perplexing stress fracture-and potential eating disorder-a 50-year-old heart patient, and a sedentary widow with knee pain? We have the wonderful opportunity to treat the whole patient, and to treat members of the whole patient population.
