Alleviate Pain. Rehabilitate Injuries. Move Better!
At some point in your life, you will experience pain and suffer from injury. But you are not powerless. Your body is not fragile. It is strong and adaptable. With the right education, exercise strategies, and mindset, you can figure out what’s wrong and take the first steps toward healing. That is exactly what you will learn how to do in Rehab Science.
In this book, you will gain:
- A foundational understanding of pain science—and how to treat both acute and chronic pain conditions
- The ability to systematically address injuries—identify the type of injury you have and implement the right methods and exercises
- Step-by-step programs for improving movement and mobility and increasing strength and tissue capacity
- Pain-relieving and injury-healing strategies, including soft tissue massage, stretching, mobility, and resistance exercise
- The confidence and education to make informed decisions—like whether or not to get surgery
- Insight on how to prevent injuries and future flare-ups
Being armed with such knowledge removes the fear and anxiety associated with pain and injury and frees you up to take charge of your health. Because there are solutions. Whether you have pain from unknown causes, you sustained an injury, or you have chronic pain and nothing else has worked, the protocols give you a clear blueprint to follow. Simply go to the body region where you feel pain or have an injury, choose the protocol that matches your symptoms or condition, and start following the three-phase exercise program.
This book provides 30 programs for the most common pain and injuries in every body region:
- Low back pain
- Sprain and strains—including ankle and wrist sprains, hamstring strains, and whiplash
- Nerve pain—such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, herniated discs, and lumbar stenosis
- Tendinopathies—like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, hip flexor, gluteal, and patellar tendinopathy
- Ligament and tendon tears—Achilles, rotator cuff, hamstring, groin, ACL, MCL, LCL, and PCL
- Shoulder and hip impingements
- Dislocations and labral tears
- Meniscus tears
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
- Arthritis—neck, knee, and hip
- And much, much more
If you want the power to get out of pain and rehab your injury—and to do as much as possible on your own—look no further than Rehab Science.
Had more information than I thought.
The use of modern pain science and up to date evidence based education and exercise advice is sure to help the reader manage pain and injuries.
I’ll definitely be keeping this book!
1) if you have an injury, it really goes into detail as to what you can do for it. You can compare it to what your current PT person is doing, and you can also build on it.
2) great background, information and simple explanation of the way your body works. And almost all of the physical therapy explanations, as well as the other procedures, you can do to help with recovery and healing gives it super simple explanation of why those methods work or do not work.

Explains all you need to know and gives good advice for different stages of healing.
I recommend this book if you want to help pain at home or if you are a massage therapist, physiotherapist ect and want to help other people.
For all you Anatomy geeks out there (like me), the illustrations of the bones, nerves, muscles, and pain areas are all brilliantly illustrated and easy to understand.
On another note, the book is arranged simply and perfectly. The photography and illustrations are superb, and complete. The paper is high quality, and although bound (not spiral), it lies perfectly open if it’s lying on the floor next to you. Everything is in color, font is easy to read, sentences are nicely spaced. At the end of the book, there is both an index, as well as an exhaustive list of references.
This book was not rushed, but painstakingly and superbly put together to help us all understand the aches, pains, pops and cracks we endure to stay fit. I am thrilled to have this in my library, and kudos to both Dr. Tom Walters and Glen Cordoza for producing a fabulous book. I am so grateful.
