Product Features
Heal painful joints, prevent injuries, and rebuild your body from the ground up.
(If mainstream fitness advice has left you broken down and beat up, it’s time for a new strategy.)
Most middle-aged fitness enthusiasts and athletes have been dragged down by joint pain, injuries, and other ailments commonly accepted as “part of getting older.”
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
In fact, anyone can conquer joint pain and rebuild their body.
It simply requires understanding the hidden causes and a road map (this book) that leads to the solution.
Built from Broken presents a paradigm shift in how to think about corrective exercise, sports nutrition, and joint health.
Once you see how the system works, you’ll never look at exercise or joint health the same way again.
Part 1 lays the foundation for understanding why your joints are breaking down.
You’ll learn:
The 5 primary causes of joint pain.
How to prevent the “Big 3” injuries that trap you in the Pain/Injury Cycle.
Why conventional pain management merely masks symptoms (and 3 natural pain relief techniques that actually work).
How to identify and fix muscle imbalances that lead to tension, pain, and injuries.
Natural injury recovery strategies that improve healing time and tissue repair quality.
Part 2 gives you a step-by-step corrective exercise guide and list of action steps to rebuild your body from the ground up.
Including:
The ideal training schedule to maximize muscle recovery and connective tissue repair (in as little as 2 days per week, at any age).
Illustrated corrective exercise instructions (with several home workout options).
How to strengthen joints with cutting-edge connective tissue training techniques.
A step-by-step training program complete with workout routines.
Whether you have been training for a few years, a few decades, or have never stepped foot in a weight room, it’s not too late to overhaul your body.
If the conventional path of lifting and stretching has left you broken down, why not try a new strategy?
This book is your way out of the pain/injury cycle.
All you have to do is follow three simple steps.
Read the book.
Follow the action steps inside to resolve your pain.
Implement the 4-week corrective training program outlined in the book.
Just imagine, in 4-8 weeks from now, you could be in a pain-free, mobile, strong, and functional body.
One that allows you to do the activities you love, push the limits of your capabilities, and achieve your true physical potential.
This process can start for you right now.

Spectacular – But buy the Paperback or Hardback instead of Kindle. I read this book with Kindle Unlimited. I thought it was so good I bought three copies in paperback – for me, my son-in-law and an old friend.. The printed version is far superior to Kindle, because you will want to jump back and forth from descriptions of the rationale for exercises to instructions for the exercises themselves.The book is rich in detail and explains how bodies get “broken” and how to restore them. I am looking forward to applying the recommendations the author suggests for multiple sports and age-related dysfunction. The images, exercises and explanations are clear and helpful.My only complaint is that the print quality in the last section is somewhat compromised – like the ink was low or something. Still, readable, and the book is worth 5 stars.
Feel great after a session. Just finished another Built from Broken session and feel great. I’ve been using the book off and on for a couple of months, on days when the winter weather is too bad for me to actually ride my horse. So, I’m not exactly on schedule, but am gradually progressing through the beginner workouts. My body definitely feels happier, stronger, more balanced, and more capable in spite of injuries over the years. (I probably wouldn’t have gotten injured if this book had existed!) Many of these exercises I’ve never seen before. I like the variety. You will need some simple, inexpensive equipment, but a lot of it I already had because of other books I have tried. I took my paperback of Built from Broken to the office store and had them cut off the spine and three-hole-punch it to stay open in a binder because I kept losing my place going back and forth between the workout exercise list and how to do the exercise. (I probably should have bought the spiral-bound version.) I also marked page numbers on the workout exercise lists and created sticky note tabs to mark each exercise for easy lookup. The author/publisher should create a high-quality, high-contrast, high-resolution printing of this book, with exercises tabbed, workouts tabbed, built-in bookmark ribbons, etc. The font and print quality could be better, and even if a high-quality print/tabbed version were pricey, it would be worth it as a lifetime investment. To give you an idea of how much I like this book, I also have the Kindle version, so I can adapt exercises when traveling or do keyword searches, e.g. “sore shoulder” or “core”. Great, helpful book!

Read whole book, then focus on tidbits you need. This was a book someone recommended to me, and I’m so glad they did!You need to read the whole book for the information it gives. As you read, you can bookmark and/or note page numbers in the table of contents for easy reference. Please practice a bit of humility and follow through this book.The basic stretches are an invaluable help for me to overcome much of my muscle discomfort. My flexibility as an adult is also improving. It reduces the appointments I need, and my quality of life is improving again. With both this book and my appointments, I can finally live without muscle discomfort and pain for most of the year again. I know it’s initially a hassle to get into the good habits, but its better than my alternative of the time and financial cost of not doing so through this book. Without the book, I had to earn the profit (after taxes and other expenses) to pay for even more appointments, pay gas to drive to the appointments, and take spare time from work to make it to my appointments. Not to mention you can’t buy back good health and there is value to your quality of life.I would recommend this book for anyone. It also explains what you can prevent getting worse with age, and what age some specific things may begin declining (such as age 30), so parents may be interested in this book for that reason too. I also recommend this book for farmers. Once they overcome the time obstacle to read through the book once, they can focus on the few stretches that will help them, to avoid accidentally stretching or tearing something preventable, and will be more comfortable too. Gardeners will also benefit, as gardeners have various seasonal motions throughout the season. There is also a stretch to do to prevent problems when your not used to moving heavy furniture. Following this book, I had to refine how I walked and used my feet. Compared to my former ‘kick legs ahead of me’ and not focusing on rotating my hips at all, using the book means I’m putting less unnecessary stress onto my knees. I do the stretches first thing in the morning. I walk however long I can spare before going to work, but ideally would do 30 minutes or more of walking daily. Sometimes I only get my 30 minute walk in on the weekends. I purchased the smaller dumbbells, cut a stick to use for one of the stretches (or you can use a broom handle), and plan to either buy or make the ‘step’ later on (you step on and off it like a staircase).

Great Resource for all active people. I bought this book to use as a reference, I ended up reading it all! In the past, each tine I got injured I had to stay away from the gym for weeks at a time to let the injury heal, When I returned to to gym, set backs occurred routinely, I currently have a lat strain injury, grade 2 which will heal but it will take awhile, I was previously unaware of connective tissue training, with my lat injury which occurred about a month ago, I did return to the gym 3 wks later but instead of going very lite weight , high reps as I have done when returning after an injury,,, instead, I tried the authors connective tissue training. I finished first week of it last week and love it. I had no set back yet, , and will continue that for this week too before progressing, to hypertrophy for another week, endurance and strength for the next two weeks, I plan to do the connective tissue training for one week out of 4 ,,,, such as a de-load week. The rest of the info in his book is on target and solid info. hopefully it can keep us gym bunnies and exercise enthusiasts to continue what we love and live for … being active without the pain,
A must read if you are in your forties. I loved the book! Insightful and actionable. I had been suffering from lower back pain for years and in two or three months of applying what I’ve learned with the book and following one of it suggested routines (with minor changes) I’m feeling great. I rarely feel any pain at all. I learned that the problem was not actually in my back, but in my weak glutes and harm strings. Life changing.
Such a great resource. This book has given me hope about my overall body health. It has shown me the reasons things work in my body in regards to the benefits of health, as well as how to maintain this vessel. If you are a visual person, tons of exercises show in detail on how to preform them. Also a detail workout routine for you to follow. If you have had lack of knowledge of how to workout, this book is excellent at helping you. I don’t feel like a bumbling idiot in the gym anymore. This book is worth your time.
Knowledgeable. I’ve read the whole book and have started on the exercises. I can’t progress very rapidly because I’m a senior but I think this is a great book and I like the information.
Insightful. This book is super helpful for rehabbing against movement dysfunction and injury. Athletes and non athletes will find this book well worth it for strengthening and stabilizing in all 3 planes of motion at each joint.
