Jack of all Trades ...,
By "vze3gk5d" (NYC, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tennis Injury Handbook: Professional Advice for Amateur Athletes (Paperback)
This is a general book that attempts to cover all types of tennis ailments in about 180 pages. Needless to say, if you have a specific problem you'll find it wanting since it will devote only a few pages to your problem. That said it does do a good job of providing general information and provides excercises to help condition and prevent future injuries. The description of some of the exercises are not too clear and it doesn't really go into specifics on how to do the excercises properly.

Good Advice and Help with Tennis Injuries,
This review is from: Tennis Injury Handbook: Professional Advice for Amateur Athletes (Paperback)
I recently came back to tennis after years of not playing. When I played when I was younger, I never had any injuries and never really thought about it. Now, I'm over forty, playing regularly in a tennis league and all of a sudden injuries are here to stay. Reading this book really helped me both with preparing before I play and dealing with those little aches and pains afterward. The book is easy to read and organized so that you can find what you're looking for quickly. Now I spend more time on warming up using exercise suggestions from the book to avoid injury. But, if I do get injured I know I can refer to the Tennis Injury Handbook for good advice to help get me back playing. I recommend this book for all tennis players, especially those weekend warriors and league players who want to stay fit and healthy to keep on playing.

Cured Tennis Elbow and Strengthened My Play,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tennis Injury Handbook: Professional Advice for Amateur Athletes (Paperback)
This book covers all the tennis injuries I have ever had, and I have had my share. Very comprehensive. I tried everything for my tennis elbow - the treatment and prevention measures from Dr. Levy completely cured my problems with tennis elbow. The tennis strength, stretching and conditioning excercizes have really helped my game. I have not gotten any new injuries since I implemented the simple prevention excersizes in this book.
