An innovative, therapeutic exercise program to stop the pain for good
If you're one of the millions who suffer from chronic back, neck, shoulder, and joint pain, all you can think about is relief. Now, exercise physiologist Anthony Carey presents a breakthrough whole-body approach to pain relief that will help your body function and heal the way it was designed to.
The Pain-Free Program shows you how to assess and treat the underlying cause of your pain rather than trying to simply fix your symptom area alone. Carey provides an individualized program for your specific body form, complete with customized exercise routines. This prescriptive guide: * Addresses the full range of pain sources, outlining the typical "hot zones" where pain tends to occur and why * Presents customized programs based on 6 major body forms identified by the author * Features over 100 photographs and illustrations that demonstrate appropriate exercise positions, techniques, and modifications * Reveals how you can prevent future injuries
The Pain-Free Program gives you the tools you need to get rid of the pain for good--and stay healthy for the rest of your life.
Anthony did an outstanding job of categorizing some of the most common structural dysfunctions and created a simple exercise prescription to address them. The average reader will not know anything about corrective exercise, and doesn't need to in order to have success with this program. Kudos on the unusual exercises, too; this is very creative stuff. Anthony's a good speaker, too, by the way. Saw him three times at IDEA 2008, took a lot of notes and was able to work through them at home. Thumbs up!
Book is still extremely relevant and is able to relay information for all levels of experience, from those who have never exercised to those that have dedicated their career too it.
If you've got physical pain due to musculoskeletal issues, I truly believe this book will help you. The only catch is that you have to do the exercises!! I had some problems and performing the exercises in this book really helped me.
