Injury Rehab with Resistance Bands: Complete Anatomy and Rehabilitation Programs for Back, Neck, Shoulders, Elbows, Hips, Knees, Ankles and More

This book offers some really excellent ways to help your body recover from injury. I fell down the stairs two years ago and still have pain in my hip, back and knee. The only help my dr could offer was prescription painkillers, which mask symptoms rather than tackle the root cause, and I wasn't keen on a lifelong dependency on maximum strength codeine anyway. I gave this book a try and have been overjoyed with it. Each area of the body is covered, with an overview of common ailments. For each injury type, there are several different exercise options, and you can do them all or choose the ones that suit you best. With my hip injury I can't lie on my left side, so exercises done lying sidelong are not good for me, but there are several others that I can do that really help. Similarly with back pain, there are lying down and sitting options, and at the moment the sitting ones are better for me and do a lot to strengthen my back and reduce the pain. The selection of exercises for each part of the body are well thought out, allowing plenty of scope for which ones you feel most comfortable with depending on the extent of your injury. After two years of high dependence on very strong prescription painkillers and no end in sight, this book has made a huge difference in less than a fortnight. I do the exercises every day and am already feeling much less pain, I've even managed one full day without painkillers and a few more where I've needed very few. Being able to take control and do something positive has made so much difference to my outlook in general. The exercises are also good for general muscle tone and strength, and I find the shoulder/neck stretches are also amazing at shifting tension headaches within minutes. This book is wonderful, it empowers you to heal your own body which in turn makes you happier and more positive.

Very useful info and clear to follow.

Good book but most exercises are on the floor. I would never get up

Excellent book with very clear written and photo instructions…..I researched a lot of resistance band exercises for older people including chair exercises because I suffer from knee problems. This book gives the medical information about the various injuries and advises the correct way to exercise. I would highly recommend this book.

Perfect book. Clear and precise language. Gives description and advice on exercises and stretches for various injuries. Always check with your doctor or physiotherapist first before using the book. I use it for my Rota cuff. It has section where you can incorporate these exercises reps into you daily routines.

Bit expensive for one band

I recently had a hip operation and this book really helped me with my home recuperation. Thanks to the guidance of this book I was able to be crutch free sooner than expected. The book explains the different types of injuries and their causes, and instructs on the best type of rehab exercises for different body parts. With different types of resistance bands this book is extremely helpful.

Excellent book with easy to follow pictures. Found it very useful when I had wrist tendinitis. Also has an overview of common injuries and which exercises will help. Highly recommended.

Me gustan este enfoque y he notado mejora. Fotos, explicaciones claras, gran variedad de ingeniosos ejercicios hacen que sea un libro que vale la pena tener hoy y mañana.

High quality information – so much common sense. I’m reviewing several books on my shelf that relate to stretching, prevention, anti-aging, and home treatments. During the covid lockdown, I got interested in how my family would proceed if any of us were injured/had sore muscles/needed medical attention for acute pain when medical attention was not available. This book offers sensible programs for prevention, rehab, and stretching. Do-able with minimal equipment (resistance bands, a chair, the floor) Offers advice and guidance for determining what is wrong, what may help, and what may make things worse. The overall approach is one of balance and being patient with oneself.

Band excercises are less for ankles

Utilisation professionnelle

I work as a physiotherapist assistant. This book is current, information is clear and concise. A valuable resource to help explain exercise plans with our patients.
