Klappentext

In a world of constant movement, our bodies echo the demand for efficiency. But when the whispers of discomfort become cries of pain, Gordon Bosworth, a luminary in Elite Sport Physiotherapy, unveils the intricate language of the body's protest in "Why Does It Hurt." Drawing upon four decades of unrivaled expertise and a penchant for pioneering methods, Bosworth embarks on a profound journey, weaving personal anecdotes with professional insights. Physiotherapy, he contends, is akin to detective work-where every ache, every twinge, reveals clues to a deeper narrative within our neuromusculoskeletal system. This book transcends the confines of a manual; it's a beacon for patients seeking understanding and practitioners aiming to elevate their craft. Bosworth's narrative dismantles the myth of rushed recoveries in a hyper-accelerated world. He urges a deeper connection with our bodies, echoing the sentiment that healing isn't a swift Amazon delivery but a nuanced process honed over millennia. With a career spanning military service, Olympic teams, and professional sports, Bosworth's diverse experiences converge in the Bosworth Clinic, a testament to his commitment to reshaping injury management paradigms. His vision extends beyond the clinic walls, challenging the rigid dogma of viewing the body as an exact science. Instead, he champions the belief that it's an ever-evolving canvas, requiring an artistic touch to decode its nuances. Bosworth doesn't claim omniscience, but his quest for knowledge continues to decode the body's messages. Through this comprehensive guide, he invites readers to join him in revolutionizing both public and private practice, envisioning a world where physiotherapy redefines the quality of life for millions.
