Book description
In these days of intense competition in both amateur and professional
athletics, there is an increasing number of injuries.
Homoeopathy and Acupressure do not supplant the normal manipulative
therapy, but homoeopathic remedies are usually speedier in action and
more effective that the usual drug therapy. In addition there is no
risk of undesirable effects which can often occur after the
administration of orthodox drugs.
It can be fairly claimed that homoeopathy gives earlier relief from
shock and pain, and quicker and more lasting healing of sprains,
fractures and other injuries.
The manipulations of the trainer, based on the sound principles of
restoring position and function at the earliest moment are not called
into question. It will be found, however, that homoeopathic treatments
plus the use of acupressure, complement them and provide speedy recovery.
Certain injuries and conditions have a habit of cropping up in sport
and each particular sport has its own collection of regular injuries.
With this in mind the book is divided into separate chapters, each
concentrating on a particular sport.
A simple to use practical handbook.
Leslie Speight was the owner and director of Homeopathic
Publishing Company and later of Health Science Press, through
which he published several of his own works on homoeopathic medicine
including, Homeopathy and Immunisation and Sports Injuries
and their Treatment by Homeopathy and Acupressure, as well as
many titles by his wife, Phyllis Speight.
In addition to this the Speight's also both made regular
contributions to the Heal Thyself, The Homeopathic World
journal. Leslie Speight died on the 28th of May, 1995.
