       Foreword by Dr. Brian Abelson

      All too often, we find our patients and athletes jumping into the advanced, intensive stages of exercise before establishing needed ground work. This rushed approach leads to more injuries and an accompanying lack of performance.

      The Release Your Kinetic Chain series of exercise books takes a functional approach to exercise. With this approach, we give you step-by-step recommendations to help you move through the rehabilitation phase of an exercise program to prepare you for the performance phase.

      This book (and its sister books) have two basic objectives:

       The first objective is to help you rehabilitate your body after an injury (or long period of inactivity) and prepare it for more intensive exercise programs.

       The second objective is to help you prepare your body so that it is ready for sport or athletic performance training.

      Our family of exercise books focuses on exercise routines that help you to rehabilitate your body from previous injuries, and bring it up to speed for the next phase of performance training. Your injury could be as minor as an ankle sprain, or more substantial such as recovery from a surgery! In all cases, it is critical that you take your body through the rehabilitative exercise phase before jumping into the performance phase!

      You will find that the Beginner and Intermediate routines expect you to work within this pain-free rehabilitative zone. The Advanced routines will help to transition you into the Performance or Athletic arenas.

      Only after you have established good muscle endurance and motor control (neurological control) should you focus upon increasing your strength or speed.

      Increasing strength should only come after good neuromuscular endurance has been established. If you try to increase strength too quickly, you will discover that you have found the best formula for developing ongoing injuries.

      In this book, we provide proven exercise routines that gradually build your strength and endurance to the point where you will be ready to begin performance training.

      This type of training can be a major mistake when you are trying to rehabilitate an injury or when you are trying to improve your sports performance. Often these body-building programs create muscle imbalances, cause even more injuries in unprepared tissues, and result in an overall decrease in performance. This is a huge price to pay, even if your initial goal was to simply increase muscle size by isolating and growing specific muscle groups.

      Instead, the exercise programs in the Release Your Kinetic Chain book series use step-by-step
