Shoulder Injuries - Prevention & Treatment #16369

When it comes to injuries, prevention is better than cure. Keep your shoulders in peak condition with the training tips in this fantastic guide.

There is perhaps no joint in the human body as complex, fascinating, or baffling as the shoulder. It can leave clinicians scratching their heads, wondering why a problem they have solved many times before is so stubborn.

And shoulder problems can certainly be stubborn! That's why, in every case, prevention is so much better than cure. Rarely is a pain that has surfaced a simple matter of applying some ice; it is more likely to be the tip of an iceberg.

That's why Peak Performance has published Shoulder Injuries - Prevention and Treatment.

This is a groundbreaking book in more ways than one. You may be surprised to discover so many shoulder problems are due not only to bad habits of technique, but to the unbalanced upper-body workouts many athletes undertake in the mistaken belief they are doing themselves good.

For these poor souls, injury and pain lie just around the corner. Read on to find if you are among them!
