Rebuilding Milo

Every athlete who spends time in strength training will eventually face pain or injuries that frustrate them and prevent them from reaching their full potential. Every athlete should have the opportunity to take the first steps toward treating these minor injuries. They shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment just to be prescribed painkillers and told to take two weeks off from lifting weights or, worse, to stop lifting heavy altogether. Dr. Aaron Horschig understands your pain and frustration. He has experienced it himself. For over a decade, Dr. Horschig has been a competitive weightlifter and knows how discouraging it is to tweak your back three weeks before a major weightlifting competition, how painful it is when knee issues limit your ability to squat heavy, and how burdensome chronic shoulder problems can be when they prevent you from achieving your goals.

"Rebuilding Milo" is the culmination of Dr. Horschig's life work as a sports physical therapist, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and Olympic weightlifting coach. It contains all the knowledge he has accumulated over the past decade while helping some of the best athletes in the world. Now he wants to share this knowledge with you. This book, designed by a strength athlete for anyone who spends time in strength training, is the solution to your injury and pain problems. It guides you through simple tests and screenings to discover the movement issue underlying your pain. Once you identify the cause of your injury, you can create a personalized rehabilitation program as described in this book. Ultimately, you will be on the right path to eliminating your pain and returning to the activities you love.
