About the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy

The Sports Physical Therapy Section (SPTS) and Sports Physiotherapy Canada (SPC) created the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy to address current physical therapy trends and practices to improve the care of the recreationally active individual as well as SPTS and SPC association activities.

The journal is currently indexed by CINAHL and we are working on PubMed.  Beginning V4N1, the Journal became an online publication and all archives were posted on the NAJSPT website.  Members have immediate access and articles are available for purchase by non-members through the Section office. Subscriptions are also available for non-members.

The NAJSPT is provided as a membership benefit to members of the SPTS and SPC.

It’s Your Journal...

You’re invited to actively participate in the growth and development of the only Journal dedicated solely to the sports physical therapist... the North American Journal of Sports Physical Therapy.

The Editorial Review Board is looking for your very best in quality research, case reports, clinical commentary and suggestion, and review of literature.
