Prime for Life: Functional Fitness for Ageless Living Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book includes the latest (I try to keep up on my own) research and evidence about the most effective exercise and physical rehabilitation procedures. Even though it is tagged for the aging, it is appropriate for younger adults to read in order to prevent problems that they may be starting to accumulate now,such as what is really going on when one is slumping at the computer, sleeping on the stomach side, walking on stairs, etc.
I learned a lot about how bones and joints move, age, strengthen, and respond to various stresses from different intensities and durations. The author emphasizes correct biomechanical movement as prevention and cure for many, but not all, injuries and skeletal ailments.
I figured out the cause and cure of two ailments of mine from this $17.00 book. Although it can be dangerous to self-diagnose, the author's cautious movement retraining advice is helping me.
The friendly no-ego writing style, diagrams and photos are very helpful also.
The only thing I'm surprised at was that the author didn't include forward planks and push-ups as part of an exercise program.

OrthoNotes: Clinical Examination Pocket Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dawn Gulick taught Ortho to my class and this book is the best. I only wish we had it at the begining of the class. Everything she taught us was included. It is a really good reference that actually fits in your pocket. I carry it with me at clinic as a reference. It is easy to use and just short of bullet proof. You can write in it and erase pen with an alcohol pad. I have spilled coffee on it without a scratch. My CI even found it useful because it jogged her momory on stuff she doesn't really use that often.
