The Rapid Recovery Handbook PDF Download

The Rapid Recovery Resource began as a simple document to easily explain to patients how to best recover after injury and workouts. Since then it has morphed into a comprehensive yet quick reference for athletes, coaches, and hobbyists who get hurt or get sore. With so much conflicting information available on the internet it is hard to make sense of it all, this book seeks to simplify that. The information in this book, modeled from top performers, makes it especially appropriate for the professional level athletes who are STILL recovering inefficiently, due to certain myths that are busted in this book.This book is not about how to have less pain with recovery, or how to have it "easy". Anyone who claims anything worthwhile in life is "easy" is just trying to sell you something. This book is about overcoming pain without drugs and recovering FAST with some intelligence and at least a little bit of hard work.I am glad to finally share this in a more official capacity as a book. However due to the rapidly changing paradigms of science, there will be changes in this book. This edition, is the first edition! Thank you for considering it and it is my wish that it be shared with your students, team mates, or children.The information in this book builds onto itself making references to prior chapters or sections therefore it's best to be first read cover-to-cover. With this edition, reading cover-to-cover is not so bad; it's not an exceptionally long book. Once read through the book can be used for quick reference.Part 1 of the book will be about the types of injuries that happen from training and then the different phases of recovery. The medical convention has three levels of recovery but I use four. This reason will become evident in later chapters. Because of this, this part of the book shouldn't be skipped. Part 2 of the book covers what not-to-do. All the myths and bad advice is covered in Part 2. Over the years so much conflicting information about fitness has made it almost impossible to make sense of anything.Part 3 of the book covers what to-do. It is the "tool kit" section. It will just cover the basics. If this book got any longer my editor would kill me. A separate book will be written in the future about every recovery tool in existence!Near the end, I will present you with a story analogy of the recovery process from my experiences with Hurricane Harvey recently here in Texas. It will illustrate how we have been approaching recovery completely from the wrong direction and how by focusing on what works, recovery can happen rapidly. The final chapter of this book outlines the Rapid Recovery Technique it is an overview of everything discussed and how to fully maximize your body's recovery ability with simple steps. Oddly - this is the shortest chapter. However, because each chapter builds upon the next this section will not make much sense without a foundation of all the other information.To fully appreciate the Rapid Recovery Technique, it is important to understand that it is your body conducting 100% of the recovery. There is no intervention outside of your body that can do this job for you. Everything you do to recover is done in the spirit of supporting your body while it does this work and giving it the tools and materials it needs to do its work.
