To achieve high performance, health-conscious athletes constantly monitor their training and their bodies. How does it respond to exercise? How do muscles and joints interact with each other? And in general – how does our body work?

We have collected seven important and useful books. They will help you take better care of yourself, balance your training program and prevent any injuries. So that both life and physical activity were a joy.

“Anatomy Trains. Fourth Edition.”

World-renowned chiropractor with forty years of experience Thomas Myers developed the concept of anatomical trains in his lectures: railroad metaphors perfectly explain the interconnections of muscles, joints, and fascia in the body. Today it is one of the leading approaches to the study of human anatomy.

In the fourth edition of his book, Myers explains how our bodies are organized and how pain in one part of the body can be linked to other areas. So don’t rush to rub, for example, your back after a workout – the cause of your pain may lie elsewhere.

Inside the book you will find the latest scientific data, new movement training and posture work.

“Bones and joints: psychosomatics. How to get rid of pain and tension.”

Another book about pain – more precisely, about their possible psychosomatic causes. Practicing orthopedist-traumatologist with experience of more than 40 years Victor Mamontov is convinced: the cause of pain in the bones and joints may not be in trauma or overload, but in stress and emotional tension. Therefore, when treating it is important to pay attention to both the body and the state of mind.

His book will help you understand how the mental and physical states of a person are interconnected, prevent the development of severe disorders associated with psychological and physical stress, and choose an exercise program so that nothing else hurts.
