Through the print and online Journal, the publishers seek to advance musculoskeletal and sports-related rehabilitation and health research and practice and to educate and support the profession. To these ends, the Journal's website delivers searchable abstracts from its launch in 1979 to date, as well as full-text access to articles published in JOSPT from 1979 to the present.
