Why are some octogenarians competitive athletes while others struggle to walk up the stairs? It isn't luck. It's orthopaedic science. If you're tired of doctors telling you that an injury will prevent you from playing the sports you enjoy, you'll love Dr. Kevin R. Stone's Play Forever. All great athletes get injured. Only the best of them use those injuries to come back to their sport better-fitter, faster, and stronger than before. Through Dr. Stone's revolutionary approach to sports medicine, you'll discover how injuries can lead to a lifetime of high-performance fitness and athleticism.
