Description

After years in the making – ‘Upside Down Injuries: Prehab and Rehab’ by Bendy Kate is here!

An A4 350 page book all about injuries, training, anatomy, physiology, energy systems, injury prevention, rehabilitation and the most important part – it is tailored to the Upside Down Industries!

Bendy Kate has used her knowledge from her degree in Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation, combined it with her 10+ years as a professional athlete to create this educational resource for coaches, both professional & recreational athletes and therapists. The aim is to try and increase the education and understanding of these sports and to better prepare the body for them.

The book begins with a long introduction where you can learn basic human anatomy and physiology. It then goes into the Injuries Chapter, which focuses on variables that can lead to injury, common types of injury in upside down sports, the results of Bendy’s study on injuries in upside down sports. Bendy discusses treatment and therapy options, as recovery should never be done completely alone! From there the book is separated into body parts, starting with the head and finishing with the feet. Each chapter begins with background information on anatomy and common injuries of the body part in question. Bendy believes there are 3 simple steps to rehab/prehab success: Mobility, Stability and Recovery. Therefore in each body part chapter you will find a section of active stretches to increase range of movement, strengthening exercises beneficial to upside down athletes and finishing with a soft tissue release section which you can use in your cool downs. Each chapter contains hundreds of exercises with clearly illustrated images and text to explain the exercises. Exercises are group together according to their muscle group or function (i.e. rotator cuff, or proprioception exercises).

The book contains thousands of images showing a wide variety of rehab and prehab exercises and lots of anatomy images to help the information sink in effectively. Most exercises are difficulty coded so you can understand how to progress or regress the difficulty.

We only get one body – let’s use it wisely.


Please note: 

The book is suitable for all abilities, but not aimed at complete beginners to exercise. The book is a tool to use alongside the help of professional therapists, it is not a tool to replace therapists or to diagnose your injury. If you are unsure about exercises consult a health professional first, and receive some training from a specialist before you dive into the book.
Treat your copy with care if you want to ensure longevity of the book!

  1. Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this book!

    I have some genetic hypermobility that didn’t give me trouble until Covid got rid of my access to dance and silks. I’ve been discovering lots of joint instability problems over the last two years that even my sports-oriented chiropractor has had trouble treating and advising on because he’s never had to work with someone with my degree of flexibility before.

    I put this book on my Christmas list a few months ago and I haven’t put it down in the week since I’ve gotten it.

    Knowledge is power and having the power to keep my body from falling apart has been a huge weight of my shoulders.

    With this book, I feel empowered instead of untreatable.

    Thank you again, Kate, for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!

  2. For me, this book made my heart full of appreciation and respect! There’s not a huge amount of info/research/books for upside-down sports so I am so truly grateful for this book! The text is interesting and informative. The images are clear and easy to understand. I have old injuries all over me so this book is fab to help look after those and help prevent any others!!

    Thank you Bendy! X

  3. This book is a unique collection of know-how, each page shows the love and hardwork that was put into it. Not only it carries enormous amout of information, but it’s also perfectly organized and easy to read.
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge Bendy, it’s truly a gem! 💎

  4. This book is simply amazing. It’s easy to read yet full of information. The layout makes it really easy to follow and find the information you need.
    I’ve personally found the exercises described really beneficial to my own training regime and love the focus on prehab and injury prevention. They’ve also been invaluable for lesson planning, helping me ensure a well balance class for my students.
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge Bendy!

  5. Thank you, Kate, for the amount of hard work, dedication, and love you’ve put into this book! The wealth of knowledge and exercises included is beyond impressive. I was under the care of a traditional physiotherapist for almost six months to address chronic hamstring and glute issues. My shoulders had also suffered compensatory problems from a lack of proper lower body engagement. While I did make progress with my physio, the homework I was given wasn’t discipline specific to aerial, contortion, or pole dance and I hit a plateau very quickly. Square, front splits began to feel almost impossible. It’s been about two months since I purchased Upside Down Injuries (in addition to Advanced Stretching Technique 2) and I’m blown away everyday by the improvements I’ve seen. Front splits are now well within reach, middles are almost to the floor, and my shoulders have never felt better- I can finally straddle with straight arms! Can’t wait to see where I’m at in another six months from now.
