In clear, readily understandable language, the authors cover:
- types of injuries and pain, and how they happen
- which tests are necessary and which are not
- what to ask at doctor visits
- what to expect when undergoing surgery
- basic physical therapy exercises
- healthy eating during the recovery period
- how to set expectations and return to the activities and sports you love
