I'm over 40 now, and injuries are always a threat. <br /><br />So please disregard my first post, I think I reacted more on the fact that we have a shiity currency these days ! <br /><br />There is no way I would not have bough this book.

Luc - Most (good) sports medicine texts are two or three times the price of Make or Break, but are less specific. A reflection of the time and resources that go into their publication. I wanted to keep Make or Break cheaper than the cost of a single appointment with a physiotherapist. I certainly wish it had been out when I was a teenager - it would have saved me thousands in seeking the right advice the hard way. I hope it provides this sort of value for you, and good luck with your climbing.Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-79806476675489433682015-02-09T02:01:42.685+00:002015-02-09T02:01:42.685+00:00I have been waiting for this book for a while now....I have been waiting for this book for a while now. I am happy for you, it is done, it looks good and interesting and I'm sure it is on par with your later work. However I do have to mention the very steep price. I purchased the paperback version (the only version available at the moment) off your own web-store. And after shipping costs and currency conversion , this book will have cost me 76.00 Canadian dollars ... Now I know that this is small scale limited publishing, and what not, but that is one REALLY REALLY expensive book ...Luc Laflammehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16937712468178446942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-71301166764031755182015-02-07T18:31:53.857+00:002015-02-07T18:31:53.857+00:00Will you offer a kindle version?Will you offer a kindle version?tommy chhenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825487725511077661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-37748636076705065522015-02-06T20:05:55.472+00:002015-02-06T20:05:55.472+00:00I haven't had a chance to read the book yet bu...I haven't had a chance to read the book yet but this post rings several bells. I had an Achilles tendon injury - sore but not debilitating - from running that had been grumbling away for several months when I spent a weekend climbing with a physio with a particularly strong academic background. He talked me through his understanding of the literature on various potential treatments and the extent of the evidence in favour of sudden, moderately violent, eccentric exercises. This approach fixed the injury in a matter of weeks but clearly isn't/wasn't standard clinical practice on the grounds that the research evidence was still quite anecdotal and because the theoretical understanding of why this might be an effective treatment was also rather vague. As another example, I had a mild shoulder injury for years that never quite went away and occasionally gave me some discomfort. When I experienced a prolonged increase in discomfort I did some research and found descriptions of exercises that used a resistance band to load the individual rotator cuff muscles; again, a few weeks of this seems to have produced a permanent recovery. As a final example, I had a couple of A2 pully partial tears, many years ago, that just wouldn't completely resolve despite extended rest. The final solution was to start climbing properly again (carefully, but going back on proper hard - for me - routes). I'm pretty sure the first and last of these at least would have been unlikely recommendations from a typical health professional. <br /><br />However, having not had an A2 pulley injury for over ten years, more-or-less on the day this book was announced, I've had one pop. Not a full tear but quite bad I think. I'm just waiting to get hold of a copy of this book to see if Dave's recommendations match my experience or whether there are some even better approaches I can take, and I'm having a hard think about whether anything precipitated the injury (other than a horrible little sit-start) - too much Xmas pudding, some 60 hour weeks at work, and a NY resolution to get to the wall more, I reckon!<br /><br />I expect this book to be as excellent as 9 out of 10... matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064245011105794473noreply@blogger.com
