Also, I think every athlete should read the following books:
"A Tooth From The Tiger's Mouth"
Tom Bisio a seasoned internal martial artist, Chinese doctor, championship Filipino stick fighter. This book is the only one out there that really gives the athlete/martial artist how-to information on using acupressure, internal herbal formulas, and external salves and liniments to rehabilitate acute and long term musculo-skeletal injuries. A lot of the compounds he details can be purchased online. He also gives full instructions for how to build your own "dit da jiao" and especially something called "tendon lotion" to speed healing of chronic joint/soft tissue injuries. He also includes some basic qigong/neigong sets to strengthen and balance out the body. If you participate in any "hard" style work, you need to do "soft" style work for recovery and longevity.
"Pain Free" Pete Egoscue
How to heal chronic pain by balancing out the soft tissue of the body. Tons of rather unique exercises and routines for healing chronic injuries.
Best,
Hombre
