Injuries Books

An amazing book for anyone interested in sports. Written by someone who has dealt with children's sports injuries extensively, the book provides detailed information on who should play sports, when, and how. Anyone with children should read this book, as it gives comprehensive information on not only sports, but overall health fitness. A unique book that discusses the side of sports sometimes ignored, from how a coach runs the team, to stress, and Psychological problems, and all the way through nutrition, and sports for the handicapped child. An easy to read, and understand book that all people (especially coaches) should take the time to read.

This is physical therapy at its finest. The Europeans provide a different way to move with a patient, relate to a patient and begin purposeful movement directly relating to life skills. My son, 4 years post accident, only ate pureed food until we worked with him through Pat's book. He now eats regular food, chewing, etc. This is a Godsend for those who American physical therapy has not worked because of the severity of the injury. These people are masters at getting the severely head injured back into the mainstream of life, without condescention, and with total support. I cannot thank them enough.

The book was sent within seven days, much before than I expected. I simply love this service...

The book covers all aspects of elbow surgery, in an up to date and practical fashion.

This is a great, current, and concise reference of surgical techniques for common sports medicine problems. It provides a quick and straight forward format in each chapter including background on the specific condition, indications for surgery, specific details of the procedure and a very nice summary of postoperative rehabilitation for a variety of the more common conditions. It is not a complete reference for sports medicine, so if you're looking for something comprehensive, look elsewhere. Authored and edited by many of the leaders in the field of orthopaedic sports medicine, it's a reference I have grown to trust for planning my surgical procedures and caring for my patients.

An excellent reference textbook on Orthopaedic Trauma topics for residents, fellows, and traumatologists. Contains updated reviews of topics and current literature citations and evaluations as well as very user friendly videos on common trauma procedures. I highly recommend it as a part of the library of the Orthopaedic Surgeon involved in fracture care.

This is one of Joy Berry's "Survival Series for Kids" books and I have to confess that my son Devon and I like them all. I've had them in storage for years, way before Devon was a twinkle in my eye, or my gal Sara's, and I'm glad I saved them.

In this book Ms. Berry and illustrator Bartholomew, with your help, will tell your child what to do in minor and even major emergencies. Your child will learn how to bandage a minor cut if nobody else is around, how to stop bleeding, even from the mouth and nose, how to take care of blisters and bruises and burns caused by chemicals and heat, even fainting, stings and more and how to call for help. Yes this is a book for a child bigger that a toddler, however my toddler and I like it just fine. Get 'em started early, that's my motto.

Though this book was written over twenty years ago, it still stands up. The excellent comic book type illustrations will keep your child interested as you read along with him or her. And for the life of me I don't know why these books are not easier to get. Joy Berry is good for children, that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you can get a hold of her books and share them with your child, you'll both be better for it.

This book can be used by pianists and piano teachers (often isolated in small towns) to find up-to-date answers to recurring injury problems, inspiration for playing "from the mind and heart" as well as the hands, and, in general, just talking about piano (although a lot of the information works well for other instrumentalists as well--especially the exercises for flexibility and strength). It's like a "class in a book."

Great guide for the tennis enthusiast...gives simple but effective exercises to strengthen key muscles used in tennis. Exercises improved my game and helped to decrease muscle soreness in my shoulder and elbow.
