Sports chiropractor DeStefano, orthopedic surgeon Bryan Kelly, and journalist Joseph Hooper provide an overview of muscular malfunctions, the body's basic biology, injuries, nutrition and exercise, and injury "hot spots" (e.g., wrist/hand, lower back, hip, knee)-with specialized exercises for stretching and strengthening targeted areas. DeStefano observes that muscles may be overlooked as contributors to dysfunction because they don't show on MRIs or X-rays, yet understanding their role in the bone-joint-muscle triad and including them in a treatment program can eliminate or reduce pain. Side boxes dispense informational tidbits and personal anecdotes from the authors. Verdict Athletic trainers, physical education specialists, and the fitness-conscious public will be interested.-Lois K. Merry, Keene State Coll., NH Copyright 2009 Media Source Inc.
