Advanced-Muscle-Testing-for-WeightTraining-Low-Back-Injuries-SWIS-Education-Series--Vol52

Advanced Muscle Testing for Weight-Training Low Back Injuries is an edited transcript of a presentation delivered at the International Weight-Training Injury Symposium.

This book focuses on advanced muscle testing and treatment procedures for weight training injuries. The book follows Dr. Leaf while he performs assessments and muscle testing on various audience members to convey his thoughts and information. It demonstrates a total of six different muscle tests, explains various rehabilitation and treatment techniques that comprise a “tool box”, and reviews spinal mechanics. Dr. Leaf also shares his philosophy of having a team of health professional assist in the treatment, prevention, and exercise prescription of his patients.

Lastly, the book finishes with a questions and answer section that highlights the use of precision devices, firing patterns of muscles in the lower extremities, and assessing a bench press.
