Read the following comments by a physical therapist, certified in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, about this book: "(Mr. Barbeau) attends expertly to technique and uses sound, safe progressions when describing the specific movements.(reducing) risk of injury and therefore the distress of recovery time. (The techniques) are proven effective and most importantly safe movement patterns. (The author) not only applies an evidenced-based approach to movement strategies but also brings vast personal experience on which movement prescriptions are based. (He) offers to prepare an athlete for competition in a format that brings personal consideration for the athlete's well-being. It is my enthusiastic pleasure to recommend the reader apply these tactics and precautions as they are described. They are biochemically correct and anatomically accurate.
