Play Forever: How to Recover From Injury and Thrive

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.
