Description

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.

All great athletes get injured. Only the best of them use those injuries to come back to their sport better—fitter, faster, and stronger than before. Through Dr. Stone’s revolutionary approach to sports medicine, you’ll discover how injuries can lead to a lifetime of high-performance fitness and athleticism.

Learn how the musculoskeletal system can be repaired through cutting-edge therapies, then honed and strengthened through semiannual fitness tests, preseason education and training programs, and regular in-season tune-ups. Backed by scientific outcome studies on orthopaedic treatments and implants,
Play Forever will become your go-to health and fitness source, helping you play the sport you love to age 100 and beyond.

Review
"For many of us, participation in active sports is an important part of our lives. Unfortunately, as we grow older, our bodies become vulnerable to injury. Kevin Stone, a thoughtful and creative orthopedic surgeon, has written an extremely useful guide so that all of us are mentally and physically prepared to continue doing what we love for as long as possible. This is not a book for the lazy; it is a book for the inspired."
- Byron Wien, American investor and Vice Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners


"Dr. Stone lives the philosophy handed down by healers from the time of Hippocrates that fitness is life but has lifted it to another level, demonstrating that with proper treatment, attitude, and training, you can come back from injury fitter, faster, and stronger than you were before. In
Play Forever, through an easily readable narrative of scientific facts, case studies, futuristic predictions, and personal anecdotes, he provides sound advice for everyone—elite athlete to weekend warrior—on how to stay in the game whilst remaining fit and injury-free for life."
- Dr. Seth Berkley, Global Health expert and CEO, GAVI Alliance


"I appreciate Dr. Stone laying down some honest truths about competitiveness and mental focus in his new book. He takes on everything from participation trophies to stupid exercises to nutrition. As an action sports athlete, ortho, and dad, only Dr. Stone could cover all these subjects legitimately."
- Jonny Moseley, Olympic and World Cup freestyle skiing champion


"Kevin has written a joyful, enlightening, broad examination of how to physically and emotionally live the life you know you really want. His book is informative and inspiring. It makes you want to do better and tells you how to accomplish that. It's a book you will enjoy reading and maybe even want to read more than once."
- David Pottruck, former CEO, Charles Schwab


"Kevin Stone is a Renaissance man. His passion for excellence, keen curiosity, and respect for humanity permeates everything he and his team does. His curiosity to uncover the body's design for healing is a logical extension of his warm heart and great regard for all. He is a healer. In his book
Play Forever, he has shared his vision and his appreciation for the power of spirit, aligned with his advanced knowledge learned over the decades. This book is a benefit to us all."
- Tim Mondavi, Founder, Continuum Wines Napa Valley
