Upside Down Injuries: Rehab & Rehab
The book starts with an introduction on human anatomy and physiology, followed by the Injuries Chapter which covers common types of injuries in upside down sports and Bendy’s study on the subject. Treatment and therapy options are discussed, emphasizing the importance of not tackling recovery alone. The book then delves into specific body parts, providing background information on anatomy and common injuries for each. Bendy believes in three key steps for successful rehabilitation and prevention: Mobility, Stability, and Recovery. Each body part chapter includes active stretches, strengthening exercises, and soft tissue release techniques for cool downs. The exercises are organized by muscle group or function, making it easy to find relevant exercises such as rotator cuff or proprioception exercises.
Please note: The book is suitable for all abilities, but not aimed at complete beginners to exercise. The book is a tool to use alongside the help of professional therapists, it is not a tool to replace therapists or to diagnose your injury. If you are unsure about exercises consult a health professional first, and receive some training from a specialist before you dive into the book
