Product Description
Packed with helpful advice on prevention and treatment of any sports injury, Sports Pilates is a comprehensive sports therapy manual on avoiding and treating a huge range of injuries. More of us are participating in sports activities than ever before, whether as a recreational jogger, tennis player or as a weekend football player. As a result, sports injuries are now on the increase. In this definitive guide to sports injuries and their rehabilitation, Olympic Pilates instructor and physiotherapist Paul Massey shows how the majority of sports injuries are preventable and treatable using Pilates. Sport by sport, Paul Massey identifies the most common injuries that occur, and reveals how to spot the signs and symptoms of specific problems. Focusing on prevention and treatment, Paul Massey's programme of clear illustrated exercises and professional treatment tips shows you how to integrate Pilates into your sporting activities. All the exercises are specific for a particular injury: some have been specially developed for maximum effectiveness in treatment. In an easy-to-follow format, whatever your age or fitness level, Sports Pilates is invaluable for all those who want to maximize their performance.

After hearing that Mathew Pinsent and the rest of the Olympic gold medal team did Pilates I was interested to see how i could implement into my team training regime. Well so far the the rate of injuries has decreased, performance increased but most of all level of enthusiam for training. A great book for anyone serious about being the best.

Pilates has been used by sports people to treat injuries for a while now, and as someone who does pilates to a high level, and a lot of triathlon, this book has shown me how specific pilates moves can help each of those sports. For anyone who does any kind of sport, and suffers injuries, or wishes to prevent them from reoccuring, then this is a valuable book.
