This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAVE YOU EVER INJURED YOUR ANKLE AND ICED IT LIKE YOU'RE "SUPPOSED TO," AND THEN LATER DOWN THE ROAD YOU RE-INJURE IT YET AGAIN? Yes! Ankle sprains and strains are a common everyday occurrence and even the mildest of sprains can temporarily affect your training and mobility. A sprain/strain can lead to chronic issues and loss of performance later in life when not properly cared for and managed. Severe cases can lead to lengthy rehabilitation and even surgery. Icing alone won't heal the injury over time, and then the doctor bills start to add up as you seek help. With the cost of healthcare on the rise and no sign of that trend improving, it's even more necessary to learn how to safely self-treat and manage common musculoskeletal and mobility related conditions. How about a better way to safely self-treat and manage an ankle sprain/strain? When you can confidently self-treat, you can limit pain levels, return to activity faster, prevent reoccurrences, and save money! In Treating Ankle Sprains and Strains, you will learn how to confidently self-treat in order to resume your training and normal activities without the risk of additional damage, injury or re-injury. I will walk you through the treatment plan on how to rehabilitate your ankle by beginning with the acute phase of rehabilitation through the intermediate (sub-acute) phase of rehabilitation and concluding with a return to full activity and sport. In this step-by-step rehabilitation guide (complete with photos and detailed exercise descriptions), you will discover how to implement prevention and rehabilitation strategies so that you can safely return to activity. Let's get started!

Download or read book High Infatuation written by Steph Davis and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2007-03-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * A collection of vivid, intimate essays and prose poetry on the universal themes of life, love, friendship, personal empowerment, and more, told through a career in climbing * 40 percent of these pieces debut here for the first time * Davis has been profiled in publications including Outside, Men's Journal, W Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. Throughout her life, Steph Davis has chosen to take risks, to trust her impulses, to make decisions based on what feels right inside -- and never look back. Studying to be a concert pianist, she quit music the day she was introduced to rock climbing. Later, she abandoned the respectability of university life and pursuit of a law degree to become a "dirtbag climber," living out of her grandmother's hand-me-down Oldsmobile sedan with Fletcher, a heeler mix dog. Today, through courage and perseverance, Davis is a high-profile athlete whose sponsors have included Patagonia, Mammut, Clif Bar, Five Ten and Cascade Designs. In High Infatuation, Davis writes on the universal themes of life, love, friendship, personal empowerment, and more, told through a career in climbing. We wait with her in the tent through weeks of rain, wind, snow, and sleet, hoping for the weather to improve in the mountains of Patagonia, then race with her up a towering rock wall of Yosemite's El Capitan in a single day. More than adventure stories, these pieces reveal Davis' soul. They draw us into her struggles with safety, independence, ambition, and compassion. By following the journey of this remarkable woman, we learn what it means to live a truly adventurous life.
