Description
For anyone who plays sports and is looking to facilitate recovery or prevent injuries
Everyone who plays sports experiences injuries. Many people never fully recover because they’re not aware of what they can do to facilitate recovery. But there’s no need to simply resign yourself to “living with” a sports injury. In The Anatomy of Sports Injuries, author Brad Walker brings years of expertise–he works with elite-level and world-champion athletes, and lectures on injury prevention–to this how-to guide. The book takes a fundamental approach, bringing you inside the body to show exactly what is happening when a sports injury occurs. At the heart of The Anatomy of Sports Injuries are 350 images. This second edition includes updated illustrations and more anatomical information and is for every sports player or fitness enthusiast who has been injured and would like to know what the injury involves, how to rehabilitate the area, and how to prevent complications or injury in the future.

This book is nice. As an athlete, it gives insight into how I can prevent injuries and is easy to read. As a personal trainer it’s nice because I can show my clients the book or recommend they read it to help them understand more. It explains what each injury is in easy to understand terms, along with what you can do to help recover and how to prevent an injury

I train in martial arts and help students with injuries, mine, too. I have a slew of sports injury books. This is one of the best. It covers rehabilitation exercises and stretches that really work. Put this in your library.

I’m a older athlete and started getting injured on a normal basis. I found myself in therapy every year or so until reading this book and the book on stretching…now I’m like wine, getting better with time!

Bought as a gift for family members studying at school, I studied anatomy and physiology at college so I would recommend this book for professional coaches too.

I love this book. It is up to date, full of facts. In fact, I learned more important and helpful details about my injury from this book than from the internet. Very informative. I would thoroughly reommend it.
