Comprehensive book on all sports!!, 9 July 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sports Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation (Hardcover)
The book has practical tips for coaches, trainers, athletes and therapists. Provided excellent information on prevention, evaluation, and treatment prescriptions for professional and amateur athletes including weekend warriors. The book has a sport specific approach to biomechanics, peak performance enhancement tips, injury prevention and rehabilitation. I like Martial Arts and the book had great pictures to help prevent injuries. The golf chapter also really helped my swing and took my shoulder pain away. Would highly recommend.
