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.
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.

Dr. Knopf put together a book that is easy to navigate. Between the intro and overview of the do and don'ts with technique ( I didn't know you had to slightly bend up for proper spine alignment when lying on your back), I feel anyone should feel secure in approaching the use of resistance bands. They are great for training or for healing. There a bunch of exercises in the book I didn't think you could use resistance bands for, but with pictures that clearly illustrate the moves, it's easy to see how the bands can help in almost every exercise. What's also great is while reading, since I purchased the kindle edition, there is actually clickable links on the exercises that will take you to the step-by-step guide for the corresponding workout.
