Description
Every athlete who spends time in the weight room eventually deals with pain/injury that leaves them frustrated and unable to reach their highest potential. Every athlete ought to have the ability to take the first steps at addressing these minor injuries. They shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment, only to be prescribed pain medications and told to “take two weeks off lifting” or, even worse, to “stop lifting so heavy.” Dr. Aaron Horschig knows your pain and frustration. He’s been there. For over a decade, Dr. Horschig has been a competitive weightlifter, and he understands how discouraging it is to tweak your back three weeks out from a huge weightlifting competition, to have knee pain limit your ability to squat heavy for weeks, and to suffer from chronic shoulder issues that keep you from reaching your goals.
Rebuilding Milo is the culmination of Dr. Horschig’s life’s work as a sports physical therapist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and Olympic weightlifting coach. It contains all of the knowledge he has amassed over the past decade while helping some of the best athletes in the world. Now he wants to share that knowledge with you. This book, designed by a strength athlete for anyone who spends time in the weight room, is the solution to your struggles with injury and pain. It walks you through simple tests and screens to uncover the movement problem at the root of your pain. After discovering the cause of your injury, you’ll be able to create an individualized rehab program as laid out in this book. Finally, you’ll be on the right path to eliminate your pain and return to the activities you love.

I really enjoyed reading this book and then creating and exercise program.
2 weeks after starting this is the most stable and pain free my shoulder, neck and knees have been for 30 years
As an ex weightlifter who has carried injuries for my my whole adult life, I really thought I was going to be like this forever. Now I know how to get my strength, stability and life back on track.
Thank you, it is worth every penny. 5 stars!!!

Serious. If you want to avoid long-term damage after competitive sports, just buy this book! The author provides details for each position needed for rehab of key parts of your body. I’m now thinking of flying out to book some sessions with him.

I’ve read other reviews from some athletes and medical professionals, so for someone like myself who does fitness for enjoyment rather than competition, I felt confident that this book would provide necessary and helpful information on common injuries, rehab, and prevention. Within a few days, I’m already about halfway through it, and I’ll definitely be referring back to it as Dr. Horshig’s clips on Instagram have already helped me immensely.
I did get the book at a slight discount and it was obviously because it was a returned copy that someone else had used (the cover and plastic sleeve are slightly worn), but that didn’t matter to me as the inside and pages are completely fine.
