I have been a long distant runner for over 30 years.
I have run over 30 marathons,suffering many overuse injuries over the years.
I have been to orthopedists, chiropractors, massage theerapists and accupuncturists over the years for an assortment of injuries.
After reading "Muscle Medicine" I have a new clarity on the cause of many of my past problems.
Most importantly, I now have a strategy for self treatment which should resolve my problems.
As a senior runner, this material is critical!
And, the best part are the sections on prevention. I am now in control!
I feel sorry for the medical practionioners in New Jersey- no more business!!
I thank the author for sharing this information.
For athletes everywhere, this is long overdue!!!

As a physical therapist, I was initially interested in reading the book to learn more about the F.A.S.T. treatments, but since reading the book I thought it was thorough and to the point regarding health and injury. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about fitness/health no matter what their level of education.

I bought this book mainly because I wanted to learn more about "frozen shoulder" (my condition) and how to prevent other injuries in the future. I was pleased that the book was written mainly in layman's language, making it easy to understand. However, I was disappointed that there wasn't more on my specific condition (only 2 pages). There is quite a lot of general information and exercises on how to prevent some conditions, and there are specific exercises to do for shoulder health, etc. I guess I was hoping for even more. Overall, it's a very good book and I haven't seen anything quite like it for the general public.

I'm a sporadic runner and basketball player and my muscles are always getting sore and sprained. This is the first book that explains to me why this happens and how to stop it. I love how crisply and clearly this really technical information is presented. Great illustrations and medical perspectives, in layman's language. Good nutrition tips, too. Really well done, and I think anyone who is into physical activity should grab a copy of this excellent book.

I learned so much about my muscles, and how to deal with pain via streching and core fitness.

This book has been a big help to me with my injury. My husband is also doing some shoulder work from the book for his injury. I gave the book to my Pilates instructor and now she is going to order it for her reference.

Best money I ever spent on a self-help book. Easy to follow instructions to resolve muscle pain problems. 100 percent better than going to the doctor and getting no help other than a prescribed pain medication! Great book to have on hand to guide you through the process to get complete relief as muscle pain problems arise!

I'm enjoying Muscle Medicine but my mother who has a history of musculoskeletal problems really
found it useful. Here's what she had to say: "This book is a unique
contribution to the field of physical medicine and therapy. It provides
meticulous description of muscle dynamics and joint physiology in a way that
is easy for the layperson to understand. As a woman who is looking back at
50, Iąve had both chronic and traumatic lower-back and cervical spine
problems. Muscle Medicine both validated my experience and gave me a good
sense of the options that are available to me. You couldnąt ask for more."

This book was informative and I will use it as a reference and will refer others to it.

This book has A LOT of info. A bit over my head, but if your looking for specific information and exercises, a very good read. I would recommend it for a good go-to/reference book.
