More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Books on sports injuries are common, but "The Anatomy of Sports Injuries" takes a more fundamental approach than the others, taking the reader inside the body to show exactly what is happening when a sports injury occurs. At the heart of the book are 300 full-color illustrations that illustrate the sports injury, together with 200 line drawings of stretching, strengthening, and rehabilitation exercises that the reader should use to speed up their recovery process. 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.

Brad Walker, Assoc. Dip. Health Science (Sport and Exercise) is a prominent Australian sports trainer with more than 20 years' experience in the health and fitness industry.

Format:Paperback
Another excellent book by the Australian trainer..and again, its clearly illustrated, simply written, and full of really useful information.
Its an unusual angle to be looking at the body from. but its important to sportsmen and women and therapists.Would you know how to deal with a Sternum (breastbone) injury? He does.
