The Anatomy of Sports Injuries

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.
