The Injury Guide

“My mom used to say, ‘Billie Jean, keep moving—or it’s over.’ In The Injury Guide, Dr. Erin Boynton shows you exactly how to do just that. Incorporating her expertise from a successful career helping elite athletes move better and stay in the game, this is a lifelong playbook for healing, injury prevention, and strength at every age.” —Billie Jean King, sports icon and equality champion

“As somebody who needed his body to hold up for a 162-game season, I know how much wear and tear can affect performance on the field and quality of life off it. I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Boynton during a particular tough time in my career, after I’d torn my left quadriceps. Her skill and expertise allowed me to get back on the field much sooner than expected. The Injury Guide is a must-read for anyone—whether you’re an MLB All-Star or a ‘weekend warrior’—looking to limit injuries, decrease pain, and stay on top of their game.” —Mark Teixeira, former MLB All-Star and World Series Champion

“Fascinating and compelling! For all who want to manage pain and keep moving for a lifetime, Dr. Boynton show us how. Back, knee, neck—whatever, there’s a way you can help heal yourself. And I know it works.” —Lloyd Robertson, former national news anchor

“A great combination of science, compassionate and practical advice, and fascinating anecdotes. The Injury Guide has an infectious enthusiasm and optimism about regaining health.” —Emma Donoghue, international bestselling author of Room

“The Injury Guide is a great tool for anyone with a current injury or looking to prevent future injuries. You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from the exercises described. Creating a solid foundation for movement is crucial to injury reversal and long-term health. I loved how I was able to gain a better understanding of how injuries occur and how to heal the body through movement. As a professional athlete, I have found Dr. Boynton’s knowledge to be an invaluable asset in my quest to master my craft and maximize my potential. I have performed all of the exercises described in this book at various times in my career. I believe that movement is medicine, and The Injury Guide is a pill everyone should swallow.” —Gaby Dabrowski, three-time Grand-Slam Champion

“The Injury Guide is a resource for wellness, a coach for lifelong movement, and a tool to reset your pain so that you can live a full, active life. I can hear Dr. Boynton’s voice on every page. Her comprehensive but simple descriptions and empathetic tone reassure me that I can heal. The Injury Guide helped me recognize the compensations—the little warning flags—that we can proactively manage and correct to avoid the inevitable injury, pain, or surgery. The book is a window into Dr. Boynton’s knowledge and expertise and the closest thing to having a movement coach, physiotherapist, chiropractor, and orthopaedic surgeon at your fingertips. The Injury Guide is a must-read (and re-read as needed) on your journey to moving and thriving through your life.” —Lisa Bentley, eleven-time Ironman champion and author of An Unlikely Champion
