CREATESPACE Beating Patellar Tendonitis The Proven Treatment Formula to Fix Hidden Causes of Jumper's Knee and Stay Pain-Free for Life by Martin Koban - Paperback

Ich schreibe normalerweise keine Rezensionen. Aber hier kann ich nicht anders. Ich habe mir das Patellaspitzensyndrom eingefangen nach einer längeren Radtour, bei der ich es deutlich übertrieben habe und auch schon während der Fahr starke Schmerzen hatte. Hören wollte ich nicht auf meinen Körper daher musste ich mit den Knieschmerzen dafür bezahlen. Ich habe etwa 2 Monate damit gekämpft und die Schmerzen wurden stetig schlimmer, auch in der Ruhe, beim Sitzen, im Liegen. Egal wie oder was, es tat weh. Darauf hin bin ich über Recherchen im Internet auf dieses Buch gestoßen. Ich habe es an dem Tag als es angekommen ist komplett gelesen und direkt mit den Übungen begonnen. Zuerst war ich etwas erschrocken dass es doch recht Zeitaufwendig ist (eine Stunde am Tag darf man gut einplanen). Aber auf der anderen Seite habe ich auch Zeit täglich Laufen zu gehen, Fahrrad zu fahren oder ins Fitnessstudio zu gehen. Da das alles weggefallen ist, hab ich die Zeit dann gerne dafür genutzt. Und wenn es einem die Kniegesundheit wieder gibt dann ist es das allemal Wehrt. 6 Wochen bin ich jetzt mit dem Buch am Arbeiten und der Fortschritt könnte nicht besser sein. Aktivitäten die mir vor 4 Wochen noch durch Mark und Bein gingen vor lauter Schmerzen sind heute kein Problem mehr und vollständig Schmerzfrei. Ich bin Marathonläufer und mein großes Ziel ist es wieder mit dem Laufen zu beginnen. Momentan traue ich mir das aber noch nicht zu. Ich bin mir aber ziemlich sicher dass das relativ bald wieder möglich ist, wenn es so weiter geht wie bisher. Ich bedanke mich recht herzlich beim Autor Martin Koban für den extremen Mehrwert den das Buch einem bietet!!!

If you are an active person, then any kind of injury which stops you enjoying your sport or hobby can be miserable. I found myself with a sore right knee after exercise for quite a few months before doing anything about it. I found Martin Koban's website, and from that bought this book, which I decided was a very small price to pay in order to be back training again. Although Koban makes it clear that he is not a medical practitioner, he has clearly researched this specific type of knee injury in great detail. He offers clear and practical advice on all aspects of knee health. I like the fact that he also goes beyond fixing tendonitis, and promotes long term knee health. The book is comprehensive, but not a challenging read, and is accessible to all, requiring no prior physiological knowledge. The book contains step-by-step guides, and specific training programmes. But like anything, to get results you will have to commit to the programme, and most likely temporarily stop any activity which aggravates your knee. This is the hardest bit, but worth it. If you ignore knee pain, then you risk getting progressively worse until it is permanently damaged. I would recommend "Beating Patellar Tendonitis" to anyone worried about this specific injury.

A fantastic book by a superb author! Martin is such a caring and giving individual, it is so easy to work with him via this amazing book as I try to cure Patellar tendonitis. I have had this unfortunate injury for nearly 1 1/2 years and everything I have tried has failed. Now I'm beginning to see results although I have only been following the program for about 4 weeks. Even when this book does not have the answer to a problem (like eccentric squats - frequency and rep's) one can go to his website and discover more great info there. My 'hat is off' to Martin - keep up the great humanitarian adventure!! Jim

Why I purchased this book: Roughly three years ago I had a spinal reconstruction after no longer being able to deal with the pain from shattering my T9, T10 and T11 in a car accident. I will first point out that I am only 26, so I have a lifetime ahead of me, which means that understanding how I can strengthen my body from the foundation up has become a huge part of pain relief. About two years ago (a year after my surgery) I began to lift weights. Of course, I began this process slowly and did a lot of research (credible sources) to understand what I should know about my body and what I needed to do to prevent it. With that, a lot of trainers don't do things correctly, so watch for a trainer that practices what they teach. Someone who doesn't have people start with the foundation of the body is just throwing them into results. Lastly, if you walk away from 12 weeks of training and are unable to workout or understanding what to research on your own you were not "TRAINED" properly; that is, the very word training is to teach someone. Needless to say my back pain has improved A LOT, and I have a much stronger body overall. During this process I moved to quickly in training my legs and gluts, which got me to the point of patellar tendinitis. If your knees hurt while walking up the stairs, you already more than likely have it. After doing core and back strengthening on my own and being successful (I highly recommend the Tupler Technique - most outstanding core program I have ever used in my life!) I decided to utilize this program. Ir is partially because I tend to trust Amazon reviews more than anything; hence, why I feel the need to write them. It was extremely important for me to make sure the foundation of my body was strengthened because I can't have another serious issue --- so when my lower SI joint began to hurt and my right hip felt strained I moved fast in buying this book. How this program worked: First and foremost, healing anywhere is slow, so be patient!!! It is very challenging because you are working your muscles, joints and training your brain in ways you have never done before. Everything in this book is critical and can be applied to the rest of your body, especially the foam rolling. Even if you think you have foam rolling down, this book teaches you effective ways to foam role, so regardless if you think you know it all, you don't. This book is backed by outstanding research, and coming from an academic mindset I appreciate that aspect about this book. I am also no expert with fitness and anatomy, but with the injury I went through, and still go through, I have found that understanding my own body and why things happen benefits me in all anatomical aspects. I have been doing the program around 4 weeks, but I was much tighter than I thought so I will be listening to my body and extending the phase 1 out for another few weeks. I do the exercises three times a week and the other parts (stretching and joint mobility) around 5 days a week. Life gets hectic so I set a realistic goal for myself so that I would fulfill the phases of the program. I will say, however, even doing the total program three times a week will help immensely with pain from your lower back and down. I can go on and on about this program but if you experience Achilles pain, plantar pain (bottom of the foot), patellar tendonitis, lower back pain or just pain in general BUY IT! In addition, to helping with patellar tendonitis this book teaches you about the significance of compensating in other areas, which is very underestimated in my opinion. It is important for everyone to understand how the human body connects and how not being active, consistent, and smart about how you train can counteract the benefits and cause injury. This book has helped me immensely and I will implement these principles into my workout routine for the rest of my life. It is also a cost effective way to avoiding doctor bills and PT bills, although sometimes you just need to do those options if you are lacking in doing these exercises properly. I will also say one last thing, which is that you will need a foam roller (I recommend buying two - a half and full length roller), I recommend also buying a smaller hand held foam roller, a tennis ball (or foot roller), a slanted squat board, and a tall stick. All of this cost me about the same or less than a PT session - just a thought.

Lo consiglio agli sportivi : è un programma di recupero basato sugli esercizi di stretching e su quelli eccentrici , ed è estremamente focalizzato su questa patologia. Ritengo che sia il meglio sul mercato.
