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

First off, kudos to the author for having the wisdom and initiative to take the road less traveled in the fitness world. Both his theoretical perspectives and his concrete applications deeply resonate with my own fitness journey, both as a client and a coach.I've been an athlete my whole life, starting ice hockey and soccer at age 5, playing through high school, getting immersed in endurance and outdoor sports during college, finding and falling deep into the CrossFit world in my early adult years, branching out into more focused gymnastics and mobility and movement-quality based paradigms and

Great book, although a bit too technical for me. I bought a second copy of this to give to my physical therapist, and he seems to like it.

Interesting read on the physiology of the human body. Have not completed reading the book though the content meets my expectations.

This book is a life-saver. I was sidelined due to recurring arm tendinitis and meniscus (knee) cartilage tears. I bought the first edition of this book a couple years ago and did what it told me to do. In 6 months, I was cleared to jog again. I'm now back up to 3 miles on concrete, and no pain. The tendinitis is a distant memory. My posture is better, and I've headed off other small problems before they became BIG problems. It's like getting a brand-new body. You won't get this guidance from your physical therapist or doctor. It really did heal my cartilage. I'm very grateful.
