Product Description
Product Description
Corrective and functional exercise is a rapidly advancing field. Exercise is an essential factor in all injury recovery, conditioning and performance, and if used correctly can play a preventative role in injury management. In the injured athlete, gym user or armchair athlete, corrective exercise can help to restore range of motion, re-build strength, endurance and power, re-establish neuromuscular control and balance, and provide positive progress for a specific sport or a healthier lifestyle.
Written by an experienced specialist in the field of rehabilitative and performance exercise, this book provides an essential practical guide to corrective and functional exercise for every sports therapist and fitness trainer, particularly those taking diplomas or NVQs at level 3. Packed with photos and illustrations, and full of accessible step-by-step explanations of the latest rehabilitative methods, every corrective and functional technique is covered in detail, from initial consultation to whole body exercises.

Format:Paperback
As a long time personal trainer I found this book an essential read, both as a revision, as well as a reference tool. The exercise sections are plentiful and comprehensive, as well as easy to access. I particularly liked the simplicity of the text, making it easy to read, and not being bogged down with technical jargon. There are also some very useful and insightful clinical perspectives, which help to tie all the knowledge together in practical terms.

Format:Paperback
I found this book to be excellent. Highly readable and cut straight to the bare bones of the subject matter. I now use this book as a reference point within my work as a Health & Fitness Professional.
