Built from Broken: A Science-Based Guide to Healing Painful Joints, Preventing Injuries, and Rebuilding Your Body

So my boyfriend has said I will be a doctor by the time I finish reading this book lol, primarily because I have been reading it so slow and intentionally.Between this book and cross-referencing my specifics with ChatGPT, I finally feel like I have definitive answers as to the cause over time of what appeared to be pain and injuries that came overnight. With a more detailed / science-based understanding of the why (as well as a new understanding of how the things I had been doing may be hindering), I can finally be hopeful that there is a real light at the end of the tunnel with consistent focus (hope that was non-existent after the fingerpointing and running around I've gotten from numerous doctors and specialists with no answers). Today will be Day 1 of me starting the Mobility routine and exercises, but I truly feel like this book has my answer and I don't have to accept the doom and gloom that had set in after being in ever increasing pain the past 3 years.

The author gives very insightful advice on improving your body with science and common sense. The graphs and pictures were difficult to see in the e-book but the author did mention a better version of these files can be uploaded free on his website. Thus, that solved the only dislike I had when reading this ebook. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to better themselves after recovery from an injury.

Really good overall reference manual for the aging exercise buff. I think he puts far too much confidence in physical therapists; not all PTs are created equal. I've had more than my share of stinkers who do more harm than good.The book does a good job with most posture, muscle, and tendon issues. It's not comprehensive; there's no discussion on the neck or involvement of nerves (nerve dysfunction can impact both muscle function and mobility)

Has great insight to a very under used way of training. All the claims in the book are backed up with research and the training programs are amazing! This book is a must read for anyone who is in the realm of lifting. It doesn't matter if your an athlete, physical therapist, strength and conditioning coach, or just a everyday gym goer everyone can learn from this!

Absolutely phenomenal life changing book. I had shoulder, back, and bicep pain for years. I saw sports physicians, physical therapists, my pcp, NO ONE presented me with any preventative and restorative solutions as comprehensive as this. It attacks your problems form every angle with good in depth science and backed research but no so much it reads like a medical book. I have recommended this book to all my friends and family. I can finally feel my joint pain disappearing and my mobility and strength slowly getting better each week.

I was looking for help with pain. Disappointed!

Good book super informative. Pictures in black and white.
