Heal painful joints, prevent injuries, and rebuild your body from the ground up.
(If mainstream fitness advice has left you broken down and beat up, it’s time for a new strategy.)
Most middle-aged fitness enthusiasts and athletes have been dragged down by joint pain, injuries, and other ailments commonly accepted as “part of getting older.”
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In fact, anyone can conquer joint pain and rebuild their body.
It simply requires understanding the hidden causes and a road map (this book) that leads to the solution.
Built from Broken presents a paradigm shift in how to think about corrective exercise, sports nutrition, and joint health.
Once you see how the system works, you’ll never look at exercise or joint health the same way again.
Part 1 lays the foundation for understanding why your joints are breaking down.
You’ll learn:
The 5 primary causes of joint pain.
How to prevent the “Big 3” injuries that trap you in the Pain/Injury Cycle.
Why conventional pain management merely masks symptoms (and 3 natural pain relief techniques that actually work).
How to identify and fix muscle imbalances that lead to tension, pain, and injuries.
Natural injury recovery strategies that improve healing time and tissue repair quality.
Part 2 gives you a step-by-step corrective exercise guide and list of action steps to rebuild your body from the ground up.
Including:
The ideal training schedule to maximize muscle recovery and connective tissue repair (in as little as 2 days per week, at any age).
Illustrated corrective exercise instructions (with several home workout options).
How to strengthen joints with cutting-edge connective tissue training techniques.
A step-by-step training program complete with workout routines.
Whether you have been training for a few years, a few decades, or have never stepped foot in a weight room, it’s not too late to overhaul your body.
If the conventional path of lifting and stretching has left you broken down, why not try a new strategy?
This book is your way out of the pain/injury cycle.
All you have to do is follow three simple steps.
Read the book.
Follow the action steps inside to resolve your pain.
Implement the 4-week corrective training program outlined in the book.
Just imagine, in 4-8 weeks from now, you could be in a pain-free, mobile, strong, and functional body.
One that allows you to do the activities you love, push the limits of your capabilities, and achieve your true physical potential.
This process can start for you right now.

Game Changing
This book completely changed my outlook on fitness as well as my exercise routine – all for the better. The author gets into the fundamentals and science behind rebuilding your body and rebounding the right way from injury. He then curates a bevy of unique and highly effective exercises into three workout programs – beginner, intermediate or advanced. The exercises greatly and quickly improved my flexibility, mobility and strength. I am a middle-ages male without major physical disabilities. I was suffering from a bad intercostal strain that bordered on a rib stress-fracture in the thoracic spine. Couldn’t laugh, cough or lay down without acute pain. I spent six weeks on the intermediate workout program, followed the nutritional recommendations (including supplementing my diet with “extra” protein), and was able to completely vanquish my injury within six weeks. So thankful for this book. So we’ll researched and throughly organized. It has also armed me with several great stretches, yoga poses, and isometric exercises that Inhad no idea existed. These have been great pre- and post-sports exercises that have helped me maintain my strength and mobility since coming back from my injury. Can’t recommend this book enough – particularly for middle-aged or senior injured athletes in sports requiring flexibility like tennis, golf or pickle ball.

Life changing
Absolutely phenomenal life changing book. I had shoulder, back, and bicep pain for years. I saw sports physicians, physical therapists, my pcp, NO ONE presented me with any preventative and restorative solutions as comprehensive as this. It attacks your problems form every angle with good in depth science and backed research but no so much it reads like a medical book. I have recommended this book to all my friends and family. I can finally feel my joint pain disappearing and my mobility and strength slowly getting better each week.

Good overall reference manual
Really good overall reference manual for the aging exercise buff. I think he puts far too much confidence in physical therapists; not all PTs are created equal. I’ve had more than my share of stinkers who do more harm than good.The book does a good job with most posture, muscle, and tendon issues. It’s not comprehensive; there’s no discussion on the neck or involvement of nerves (nerve dysfunction can impact both muscle function and mobility)

Useful book for all – not just for bodybuilders
The author gives very insightful advice on improving your body with science and common sense. The graphs and pictures were difficult to see in the e-book but the author did mention a better version of these files can be uploaded free on his website. Thus, that solved the only dislike I had when reading this ebook. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to better themselves after recovery from an injury.

Professional book on ligaments, joints and major muscles from therapy perspective
I liked the examples of exercises and the explanation on the anatomy. Would recommend this book if you would like to read more details on jonts, ligaments and muscle. From Therapy and trainer perspective.

Amazing knowledge
Has great insight to a very under used way of training. All the claims in the book are backed up with research and the training programs are amazing! This book is a must read for anyone who is in the realm of lifting. It doesn’t matter if your an athlete, physical therapist, strength and conditioning coach, or just a everyday gym goer everyone can learn from this!

Read with caution
I’m almost finished reading this book. I have yet to read the actual exercise chapter (chp 12). I finished reading the informational and theoretical part, and have begun implementing the basic 6 exercises referenced in the earlier portion of the book.So far, with the information the author presents, and the implementation of his recommendations and preliminary exercises, I have noticed an improvement in my chronic aches.If you are considering this book, the reasons for the 3 star rating are as follows:(1)The theoretical and informative section is long – about half of the book. It is important; however, the author could have expressed the same ideas with a less verbosity.(2)It would be nice if the author posted videos to a website, or a youtube channel, showing the exercises with perfect technique – then referencing the website in the book. The exercises are prolifically illustrated; however, watching a video is much better than seeing pictures.(3)Finally, the most important criticism is the reference section. I was curious to read more on minimalist footwear as discussed in the book. When checking the corresponding endnotes, I noticed some reference notes in the chapter do not correspond correctly. The reference number takes you to the wrong scientific study. If there are issues in one section’s endnotes, it makes you wonder if there are other incorrect endnote references; thus, was there bad editing or incorrect information entirely?Unfortunately, with the above issues, I can only wonder if my improvements are placebo or real. Either way, I am improving so I will leave you with my final opinion: I am happy I purchased it but read critically.

Ich habe eine umfassende Sport-Lektüre-Sammlung und dieses Buch zählt zu denen, von denen ich noch am meisten Neues lernen konnte. Den Ausführungen des Autors zufolge, habe ich vorher bereits das meiste richtig gemacht. Manche Dinge ist man sich aber nicht immer bewusst und sollte sich regelmäßig aktiv damit beschäftigen.Ich habe schon genug Menschen getroffen, die dieses Buch dringend lesen und einiges darin umsetzen sollten. Es ist tatsächlich auch eines der wenigen Bücher, die ich schon häufiger weiter empfohlen habe. Nicht jeder bräuchte ein Buchtipp für Kraftsport oder eine bestimmte Sportart – aber sehr viele Menschen haben irgendwelche körperlichen Beschwerden. Daher ist das Buch für eine breite Masse an Menschen geeignet.Sehr positiv bewerte ich auch die einfach gehaltene englische Sprache mit wenigen unnötigen Fachbegriffen. Daher lässt sich das Buch sehr flüssig lesen und gut verstehen.

ものすごくいい本。あまり広く知られたくない。でも早く邦訳を。トレーニングで競技のパフォーマンスを高めて記録を伸ばすことよりも大切なこと。それは怪我をしないこと。パフォーマンスの高低にかかわらず、「良くない動き」というものがある。特定の関節に負荷がかかる、ケガを誘発する動きである。こうした動きを抱えていれば、どんなに鍛えて能力を向上させても、それは同時に故障やリタイヤの時期を早めていることになってしまう。パフォーマンスが上がれば、身体への負担も大きくなるからである。今は関節を保護するギヤなども発達しているので、悪化を遅らせることはできるかもしれない。あるいは医療も進歩しているので、外科手術などによって再び競技に復帰できるかもしれない。しかし、それらもけっして根本的解決にはならないだろう。解決法はたった一つ、動き方そのものを変えるしかないのだ。このことは、ともすると重要性を実感しづらい。動き方を変えても、それがパフォーマンスに直結するとは限らないからだ。しかし、運動すればするほど健康や日常生活を害しかねない現在の状況において、本書のような視点は貴重ではないだろうか。特に、部活動など教育分野におけるスポーツ活動においては、今後こうした知識はいっそう不可欠になると思われる。また、そうした裾野が広がることによって、日本におけるトップアスリートの競技寿命が延びるかも知れない。才能豊かなトップ選手でも、若い頃からの運動履歴によって、何かしらの障害を抱えていたりするものである。むしろ、そうした世界の方が問題は深刻かもしれない。本書で具体的に説かれるのは、自重やゴムチューブ、ダンベル等を用いたエクササイズ、ストレッチの類である。そうした動きの中で、自分の身体に染み付いた動作を改善していくのである。詳しくは本書を参照されたい。また、運動には代謝を高める効果があるので、ケガの回復も促進できるのだという。既に非可逆的な障害を負ってしまったアスリートには効果がないかもしれないが、まだ痛みが慢性化しきっていない人にとって、本書は福音になると思われる。

This book contains so many pages but non are repetitive, and full of incredibly useful information. I feel blessed to have found this book. This author deserves a noble prize.

Superb book. I’m currently struggling with a shoulder injury which I realise is likely attributable to a combination of over training, muscle imbalances (weak rotator cuff, tight lats and chest) and restricted thoracic mobility (not helped by my desk job). I now feel much better informed and more confident about my ability to recover and rebuild my strength. Reasonably priced on Amazon too. Highly recommended.
