Specialized Exercises for Injury Rehabilitation : A Manual for Health Professionals

SPECIALIZED EXERCISES FOR INJURY REHABILITATION: A Manual for Health Professionals is a book for kinesiologists, exercise therapists, and physical therapists-in fact, for any health professional who uses exercise to help clients recover from injuries.

Through over 35 years in pain and rehabilitation programs, physical therapist Tim Hunt has proven that these techniques enhance recovery from injury and provide relief from chronic pain. Moving from body part to body part, this manual demonstrates how sometimes just small adjustments to the way an exercise is performed can lead to significant progress in recovery.

This book, based on Tim Hunt's Advanced Exercise Prescription course, introduces a systematic, guided approach to rehabilitation, emphasizing accurate performance of specific optimal exercise techniques derived from accepted biomechanical principles. The success of this system has been repeatedly demonstrated in a wide variety of clinical situations, from recent sports injuries such as ankle sprains or rotator cuff tendinopathies to long-standing work-related back or neck pain.

Testimonials from the Advanced Exercise Prescription course:

"Since taking this course, the results with my clients have skyrocketed... why didn't we learn this stuff in school?"

"I particularly enjoyed the functional uses (therefore applicable) of exercises."

"Best course I have attended yet. Critical thinking involved, an active approach to learning."
