Summary: Good even for old ladies!
Comment: I bought this book after tearing a calf muscle and pinching a nerve in my back. Although the injuries were not caused by my sports, they did force me to miss a whole season of hiking and biking. Thanks in part to the contents (and the help of a sports medicine doctor), I have recovered well enough to complete an 80-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina (one of the tougher sections in the South).
Compared to other books I consulted, this one covered more relevant topics and gave better detailed rehab and conditioning information. I heartily recommend it!

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: After I broke my ankle (not doing any sporting activity)this book gave me the confidence (and the exercises) to work and exercise my ankle during recovery. The book is easy to follow and offers clear (and easy) instructions. Even though I was seeing a Physio - I used this book to hasten and build up the strength and balance in my ankle that had been lost. Even now I find myself doing the exercises when the ankle is "sore". I refer to this book often to seek information on preventing and treating sore areas of the body! I have recommended this book to friends and even a client who all have had the misfortune of breaking bones over the past 3 years. Today I recommended it again to a friend. None of their injuries was a "sport injury" either - don't be put off by the title.

Summary: Misleading Title. There are better sports books.
Comment: I had an elbow injury from weight-lifting. I bought this book at the same time I bought "The Sports Injury Handbook" by Levy. Prior to buying these books, I saw two sports doctors and both recommended I do some dumbbell exercises to rehabilitate. I looked through Levy's book and found not only the same exercises, but others and a better explanation than what the doctors gave me. Then I turned to the "Sport's Medicine Bible," and guess what? It didn't cover it.
My elbow injury is healing nicely thanks to Levy's book. As for this book, a waste of time. You would think a book with the word Bible in it would cover everything, but I found Levy's book covers more injuries and sports than this one. And I wouldn't complain as much if this book had a different title, like "Baseball Injury Bible," but it's misleading when it didn't even handle my injury, which is a common injury in weight lifting.
