This month sees a very busy month for me.
Firstly, I hope to be launching a new online coaching programme for nutrition practitioners. More details to follow shortly.

This month will see the completion of my latest book, “Anatomy of Sports Injuries for Fitness and Rehabilitation” with publication later this year.
“Anatomy of Sports Injuries for Fitness and Rehabilitation” is both a visual and textual analysis of sports injuries and the rehabilitation of those injuries through effective exercises, a guide on how to do the exercises safely and effectively and when to seek professional help to overcome your sports injury.
The book has three distinct parts: the first is a basic introduction to anatomical definitions, terminology and an overview of sports injuries. Essentially, it helps to demystify the language used in parts two and three, making it easier to follow the instructions in those sections. Part one also includes guidelines on injury prevention, acute care and first aid, manual therapy, long-term rehabilitation and lifestyle considerations.
Part two contains 13 sections: Each section covers a region of the body and highlights some of the most common injuries for that region. Within each section, the individual injuries are defined and potential causes, treatment plans and statistics are given. Each injury has up to three of mobilizations, stretches and/or exercises that may be used to help rehabilitate the injury as part of the corrective exercise programme following the acute phase of the injury. Detailed information on how to perform the rehabilitative exercises is given in part three.
As you can see, this is going to be a busy month!!!
