• News Flash: Dr. Larry to co-author Sports Book!
  

Parksville, B.C.

  Dr. Larry Smith, Chiropractor and veteran of 13 marathons is focused on a new destination this year.  He is now in book stores across North America as co-author of the recently released book, Inside the Minds: The Art & Science of Sports Medicine: Finding Success in a Complex Field  (ISBN: 1-59622-0554).    

Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.  Dr. Smith was the only Canadian and the only chiropractor to be chosen along side five primary care physicians and orthopedic surgeons representing some of North America's top hospitals and organizations.

  "It is very gratifying to see chiropractors finally being recognized as leaders in the health, fitness and wellness movement", said Dr. Smith.  "Too much emphasis is put on elite athletes and their high-tech expensive treatment regimes.  All the authors of the book agreed that there should be more focus on prevention, and my chapter emphasizes the grassroots approach.  My goal is to reach out into the community and help individuals and families lead healthier lives through sports and fitness." To this end, Dr. Smith is also planning the release of an insightful and thought-provoking video focusing on the theme of fitness for families. This video will feature participants of varying fitness levels, with various health challenges and aged from 11 to 85 years.

Inside the Minds: The Art & Science of Sports Medicine: Finding Success in a Complex Field can be purchased immediately by visiting www.aspatore.com. It will also be in bookstores nationwide.  To order a copy of this book by telephone, please call 1-866-Aspatore. 

  Dr. Smith is an in-demand speaker and published author with numerous articles featured in the media.  His talks and multimedia presentations are thought-provoking and entertaining.  To schedule an interview with Dr. Smith, please call 250-248-6333 or email drlarr@shaw.ca.
