About the Journal
The Journal of Sports Medicine and Pain Management (JSMPM) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Pragma Journals LLP. We want work that clinicians, physiotherapists and pain specialists can use, and that is careful about the difference between what works in theory and what works for patients.
