Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation The Neuroscience of Movement, Pain and Performance

Functional training develops the attributes and abilities required to perform tasks, skills and
activities useful and relevant to daily life. Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation serves as an
accessible and visual guide providing the essentials of therapeutic exercise and
rehabilitation, including mobilization, stabilization and myofascial release.
This book begins by explaining functional training and the foundation of the STRIVE
approach. Chapter 2 introduces functional anatomy and Chapter 3 explains the fundamentals
of neuroscience. The final chapters discuss the STRIVE principles and apply them to
exercise, program design and injury recovery. Each chapter includes key point boxes,
illustrations and photos of exercises discussed.
Written by an exercise specialist and osteopath, this practical guide is presented in an easyto-read style. Functional Exercise and Rehabilitation is essential reading for all health
professionals, sports therapists and trainers involved in exercise prescription.
