The Injury Guide

Move freely and without pain for the rest of your life with this practical guide from one of North America's leading orthopaedic surgeons and a former doctor for a Major League Baseball team.
Do you find that your body is becoming stiff and sore as you get older? Do little aches and pains come back-or get worse-even after you rest? Are you worried that your body is breaking down and you won't be able to live a healthy, active life? These are normal concerns people have, but they are often addressed with band-aid fixes: painkillers, massages, temporary stretching, and exercises from a doctor or physiotherapist. Unfortunately, the pain often returns.
The truth is that you can move freely and without pain for the rest of your life-if you address the root cause of your issues. Devised by Dr. Erin Boynton, former orthopaedic surgeon to the Toronto Blue Jays, The Injury Guide not only offers the movement routines that will help your body heal; it also reveals the reasons why our bodies break down in the first place so you can take preventative action. Armed with the information in The Injury Guide, you will be able to manage your pain, heal your injuries, and keep moving forever.
