Book Reviews of The Runners' Repair Manual: A Complete Program for Diagnosing and Treating Your Foot, Leg and Back Problems

Book Review: A book of its time (& best left there)
Summary: 2 Stars

Treatment of biomechanical injuries has progressed greatly in the twenty-odd years since this book first appeared; the 'fixes' in this book are almost always orthotics - a stopgap at best, the route to a different injury at worst & never a long-term cure.
The book could almost be described as a piece of running nostalgia if the old-fashioned treatment techniques it contains weren't unfortunately still being peddled by those who make money from them.
Try books by Pete Egoscue, Kesh Patel or Gray Cook for a variety of approaches to muscle injuries. To prevent injuries occurring by correcting your running technique then Chi Running or The Pose Method are two of the most widely used.
