In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger,Trade ReviewFrom this day forward, Rebound will be assigned reading for every athlete I coach who gets injured. The evidence-backed guidance in this long-overdue resource is as crucial to managing the mental side of injury as good healthcare providers are to managing the physical side. -- Matt Fitzgerald * author of 80/20 Running *A refreshingly innovative approach to injury rehab.

It provides the essential mental skills to help athletes thrive in recovery in an easy to use, practical guide. A must-read! -- Cindra Kamphoff, PhD, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Speaker and AuthorThis book is an outstanding resource for not only for those in the process of bouncing back from an injury, but for every coach, athletic trainer or parent who aims to help their athlete navigate the psychological aspects of rehab. Carrie provides insight on what to expect when you get injured and action-oriented steps on how to not just come back, but to come back stronger than you were before. -- Justin Su’a, M.S., Tampa Rays Mental Skills CoachRebound is essential reading for any athlete that is injured or going through the physical rehabilitation process. This book is basically a psychological playbook about how to not only recover from the injury setback, but also to thrive during the process to come back stronger and better than before the injury took place. This book needs to be in every athletic trainer and physical therapist’s office. -- Joshua Lifrak, M.S., Director of Mental Skills Program for an MLB TeamAs a pro athlete who recently endured a devastating injury, and as a coach who has supported athletes through injuries and on the road back, I found Rebound to be a wealth of knowledge and resources. Rebound provides athletes of all levels with actionable tips and mental skills to guide them back to a healthy mindset while they rehab and recover.

Lotus Publishing A Practitioner's Guide to Clinical Cupping:
Book SynopsisIn this highly practical guide, acclaimed physical therapist and international lecturer Daniel Lawrence dispels some of the myths around cupping therapy and shows how it deserves to be viewed as a highly credible and versatile therapeutic tool in modern practice Cupping—an ancient therapy which uses vacuum cups placed over the skin to treat a wide range of health conditions—appears in one of the earliest medical textbooks ever written and has been used in cultures around the world for thousands of years. Though much maligned by its perception as a “complementary therapy,” the emergence of modern research supporting the use of cupping to treat musculoskeletal conditions has seen it enjoy a huge resurgence in recent years. You only need look at the unmistakable cupping marks visible on Olympic swimmers to see how valued it is within professional sport. An ancient treatment, a new way Presented with clear descriptions, color photographs, and QR codes linking to online video tutorials, Lawrence’s approach to dry cupping offers enhanced treatment outcomes and methods that are more readily accepted by Western medicine and modern manual therapy bodyworkers. These are techniques that deliver maximum benefit whilst minimizing some of the less desirable after-effects of more traditional methods. Starting with the history of cupping, the book guides you through the principles of application with illustrated protocols for musculoskeletal conditions of the foot, ankle, lower leg, knee, thigh, hip, back, shoulder, wrist, hand, elbow, and neck. Whether you are looking to treat Achilles tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or low back pain, Lawrence illustrates why cupping is a safe and effective choice of treatment. Where this book differs from others, however, is that it introduces the concept of using passive and active movement in a treatment. In this way, cupping can be viewed as an enhanced form of both massage and exercise rehabilitation. Couple this with a valuable understanding of how these techniques influence the nervous system and cupping now stands up to “evidence-based” scrutiny. This is modern cupping!Table of ContentsForeword Introduction: Cupping—an Ancient Treatment, a New Way 1.

Ebury Publishing Taller, Slimmer, Younger: 21 Days to a Foam
Book SynopsisThere’s a new buzzword in the fitness world: fascia. It’s the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and organs and helps keep everything in place. But in our increasingly busy and often stressful lives, tension and toxins are often stored within our fascia, resulting in serious long-term consequences, such as excess weight, acute anxiety, chronic pain and poor posture. Fitness and alignment expert Lauren Roxburgh – who has worked with such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Gabby Reece and Melissa Rauch – has the solution to keep your fascia supple, flexible and strong. Using only a foam roller, you can reshape and elongate your muscles, release tension, break up scar tissue and rid yourself of toxins for a leaner, younger look. In just 15 minutes a day, Roxburgh’s 21-day programme will guide you through a simple series of her unique rolling techniques that target 10 primary areas of the body, including the shoulders, chest, arms, legs, hips, bottom, back and stomach. The end result is a healthy, balanced, aligned body that not only looks but feels fantastic. Includes over 80 photographs to help guide you through the exercises.Trade ReviewLauren’s method sculpts the body's soft tissues, slimming and streamlining whatever part you work. She’s a body whisperer! * Goop.com *Lauren is truly a physical and spiritual miracle worker. Her foam roller method transforms you inside and out ... This book is sure to become the body bible for anyone who wants to live a healthy, fit and balanced life. * Melissa Rauch, actress, The Big Bang Theory, True Blood *Lauren’s treatments are life changing! * Michele Promaulayko, Editor-In-Chief, Yahoo! Health *My body felt stronger, more relaxed, connected and balanced after working with Lauren. I would highly recommend her foam rolling method to anyone wanting the most out of their body. As an orthopaedic surgeon, I have to say Lauren’s knowledge of anatomy, fascia, biomechanics and physiology is superb. -- Dr Bert Mandelbaum, Orthopaedic Surgeon * Santa Monica Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group, and Sports Medical Committee and Olympic Medical Officer for the Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 and London 2012 games *Lauren was the missing piece to get back to my pre-baby body: I had exercise and diet totally keyed in, but couldn't diminish the "thickness" through my middle, or a lingering heaviness in my upper legs. Lauren is a magician and deftly melted it away over the course of a single session. I watched as she moved my midsection like putty and brought back an hourglass curve, something I'd resigned myself to never see again. And the resurrections seem to be here to stay. Every night now I lie on a roller to release the tension of the day: it restores my back after hunching over a laptop all day and has greatly diminished my recurring upper back pain. Lauren is the real deal. * Elise Loehnan, Editorial Director, GOOP *

Human Kinetics Publishers Myofascial Release
Book SynopsisMyofascial Release, Second Edition With HKPropel Online Video, offers a dynamic approach to fascial and soft tissue work suitable for all students embarking on a career in hands-on therapy as well as for experienced therapists looking to add skills to their treatments. Ruth Duncan, an advanced myofascial release therapist, proprietor, instructor, lecturer, national committee member and John F. Barnes protégé, shares her expertise to offer in-depth descriptions of myofascial techniques and their applications. This scientifically grounded approach presents an overview of the entire fascial matrix, the three-dimensional web of tissue that supports every other structure in the body. The explanation of the anatomy and function of the connective tissue system gives practitioners the solid background needed to treat muscle injury, immobility, and pain. The book also outlines how myofascial release relates to other massage modalities, allowing therapists to incorporate a range of treatments. Descriptions of over 60 myofascial techniques contain details on the timing, direction, and hold of each stretch as well as numerous photographs that illustrate the body and hand positions of each technique. Nuanced explanations of the unique feel of soft tissue help the therapist enhance their palpation skills. The therapist learns how to apply the best approach (cross-hand releases, longitudinal plane releases, compression releases and transverse plane releases) on specific injuries or issues. A new chapter on scar tissue details how practitioners can relieve the pain and tension common in surgical and other types of scars. The text also contains home programs that clients can use themselves between treatment sessions.Myofascial Release, Second Edition, includes special features that make this resource more effective for readers: Full-color photos present a strong visual guide to employing each technique safely. The photo index quickly points readers to the desired technique. Tips provide practical comments on applying the techniques. Client Talk boxes share the author’s experiences and insights on common situations. Quick Questions at the end of each chapter test readers’ knowledge of material. More than 20 online videos showcase visual demonstrations to help the reader learn the techniques more quickly and accurately. Finally, the text offers insight on interacting with clients. It covers the client consultation process, how to check for contraindications and perform the visual assessment, how the client may respond to the treatment, and what the practitioner and client might feel and see during the process. Readers will conclude Myofascial Release, Second Edition, with a holistic understanding of the approach and how to apply the principles to their practice.Note: A code for accessing HKPropel online video is included with all new print books.Trade Review" The only other book I have seen of this caliber regarding myofascial release was the previous edition printed in 2014.

Backed up by the latest research, this comprehensive text is a must for Manual Therapists wishing to incorporate safe and highly effective needling techniques into their treatment protocols. -- David Farrelly, Osteopath and Owner of Bodyworks Manual Therapy TrainingAs acupuncture comes to be ever more widely utilised in the West, there has been a chronic need for a good text which facilitates its expert application by Western Health professionals: this book meets that need very well. Excellently researched and illustrated, it marks a milestone in the West's creation of its own paradigm for acupuncture, and is a vital handbook for all Western acupuncturists. -- Henry McGrath MA MTh MATCM, former Academic Director and Acupuncture Course Director, College of Naturopathic Medicine, and author of ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine Approaches to Cancer’Written by practicing MSK clinicians, this dynamic and focused handbook distinguishes itself in immediate practicality. Carefully researched and with illustrations of Netter-like quality, its evidence base is a study in duality, thoughtfully reconnecting the green shoots of cutting edge medicine to ancient roots of traditional acupuncture. -- James Inklebarger MD, Specialist MSK Doctor and OsteopathThis is an excellent reference book which is perfectly laid out - with practical instructions that are simple and effective to use. It bridges two important possible gaps. For those acupuncturists who need more help with their knowledge of the muscular system of the body and for those physiotherapist /osteopaths who need more help with their knowledge of the application of acupuncture. The historical background, scientific evidence and theory are sufficient without being too heavy or laboured. The illustrations, pictures and description of anatomy, palpation, client position and application of treatment particular to each muscle and the trigger points is exactly what a practitioner needs to be able to use these techniques in a clinical situation. The health and safety and client handling section is clearly carefully thought out and is a good reminder to practitioners of their clinical governance in this aspect of practice. The advanced tendon techniques are a good pointing to practitioners to extend the principles of practice and be creative with their treatments.The electro acupuncture chapter gives the practitioner what they need to know in a concise, practical format. -- John Tindall, Founder & Director, Yuan Clinic & Traditional Medicine CollegeTable of ContentsSection 1.

Human Kinetics Publishers Exercise Biochemistry
Book Synopsis Exercise Biochemistry brings an admittedly difficult and technical subject to life. Extremely user- and student-friendly, it is written in conversational style by Vassilis Mougios, who poses and then answers questions as if in conversation with a student. Mougios does an excellent job of making the information interesting by using simple language without compromising scientific accuracy and content. He also uses ample analogies, related works of art, and numerous illustrations to drive home his points for readers. The result is that Exercise Biochemistry is a highly informative and illuminating text on the effects of exercise on molecular-level functioning. It presents the basics of biochemistry as well as in-depth coverage of exercise biochemistry. The book uses key terms, sidebars, and questions and problems posed at the end of each chapter to facilitate learning. It also covers metabolism, endocrinology, and assessment all in one volume, unlike other exerTable of Contents Part I. Biochemistry Basics Chapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Human Fatigue
Book SynopsisFatigue is a condition spanning the breadth of human functioning in health and disease and is a central concern in sport and exercise. Even so we are yet to fully understand its causes. One reason for this lack of understanding is that we seldom consider fatigue from an evolutionary perspective - as an adaptation that provided reproductive success. This ground-breaking book outlines the evidence that fatigue is a result of adaptations distinctive to humans. It argues that humans developed adaptations which led to enhanced fatigue resistance compared with other mammals and discusses the implications in the context of exercise, health and performance. Highly illustrated throughout, it covers topics such as defining and measuring fatigue, the emotional aspect of fatigue, how thermoregulation affects the human capacity to resist fatigue, and fatigue in disease. Human Fatigue is essential reading for all exercise Table of Contents1. Evolution and Natural Selection in Human Performance, Health and Disease, 2. Safety Factors, Reserve and Trade-offs, 3. Not Just Cousins, 4. Defining and Measuring Fatigue, 5. Morphology and Skeletal Muscle, 6. The Brain: The Emotional Aspect of Fatigue, 7.
