This hands-on therapy manual for the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries, which frequently are sports-related, includes guidelines for athletes, trainers, and coaches for prevention, recovery, return to sports after injury, and exercise strategy. Weintraub, an osteopathic therapist in the San Francisco area, bases his nonsurgical model on basic principles of structural health care, including the importance of precise anatomical focus, capacity to work with subtle changes of structure, and the combination of detailed, specific treatment of the small fibers and tissues of the local tendon injury area with an overall approach to improving larger body patterns and tensions.

There has been a drastic increase in repetitive strain/overuse injury to which the standard medical system offers little hope of recovery without surgery, which has mixed results. Weintraub's book offers a viable alternative option for patients. He has developed a highly effective new osteopathic-style approach to answer this major healthcare challenge. Active people, practitioners, and patients wishing to avoid surgery will find guidance in this work which breaks new ground for healing damage due to sports, accidents, and work-related stress. The book combines emerging scientific information and the author's original treatment model drawn from his 28 years of hands-on therapy, all revealing the potent recovery capacity of ligaments and tendons. Weintraub has done considerable treatment of serious tendon and ligament injuries and the book's twelve case studies show positive results that would be considered improbable from the standard medical perspective. Clinicians from many fields, mainstream to alternative, will benefit from the clear descriptions of the techniques in the osteopathic-style manual therapy model developed by the author.
William Weintraub holds a Masters degree in Biomechanics from Antioch University. He has practiced and taught structural/osteopathic therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area for 28 years. His extensive training in osteopathic and related methods includes Practitioner Certifications in Counterstrain Technique, Body-Mind Centering, and Acupressure Therapy.
