“I just finished reading your book and absolutely loved it. I’m an old athlete (50) in generally good health, STILL playing soccer, but with lots of nagging joint injuries. I've been a weight lifter my whole life (mostly compound power lifts with a bit of supplemental) and have always lamented that I can't seem to "train" my joints. This book finally gives me a science-backed path forward on joint health, and hopefully healing up some of those nagging injuries! I’ve already gifted your book to a few other ex-athletes I know. Fantastic book!”

“I suffer from knee pain and other pains cuz I’m old! Did the exercises recommended and my knee pain is gone in a week! The book is great because you don’t have to read it from start to finish. You can look up what your issue is and find real solutions without poisonous drugs. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to repair injuries, develop better form working out, and focus on specific aches and pains they may have!”

“To say this book blew me away is an understatement. As a professional stunt performer for TV/film, I’m pretty much always accommodating some sort of annoying injury or compensation issue as a result of literally hitting the ground for a living. After months of what seemed like a never ending cycle of pain management to heal my Achilles, I stumbled upon SaltWrap while searching for some sort of “real relief”… not just a band aid or magic potion to “get me by”- I wanted my life back… This book, Built From Broken has helped identify some of the modalities I’ve been doing on a regular basis that are not only preventing me from getting past the injury, but also holding back any sort of progress to move beyond the injury and strengthen my entire body’s joints and tendons as a whole. I had been following the “common protocols” that are from long-held beliefs and modalities in the world of injury management that I’d been told my entire life- but to NO avail! This book turns the science on its head and explains the concepts in easy-to-read-and-understand chapters. For nerds like me, the material offers a deep dive into the science behind body mechanics and how to best go about building one’s joints for a lifetime of resilience rather than just “getting by” on a day to day basis. I’ve employed the exercises outlined in the book for the past 2 weeks… and even though it’s pretty early in my journey of “built from broken”, I can honestly say I feel a thousand times better already- My mobility has improved, and the nagging hyper-awareness I’ve been so focused on has started to diminish and I finally feel like I’m no longer walking on eggshells. Just feeling empowered by this extensive research has helped my mental game so much in moving forward and actually working towards confidently strengthening my joints and tendons, rather than constantly guarding them. My massage therapist (who is incredible) has also purchased this book on my recommendation and she’s blown away like I am… I can’t recommend this book enough to anyone who is tired of the constant run around of joint pain management and really wants to HEAL themselves for better strength and mobility in their lifetime. Scott has compiled an incredible amount of information, backed by tons of research and over 250 references that deal with joint pain management in this book- I highly recommend reading this. You will NOT be disappointed!”

“I don’t know how I got to be in my late 60’s without knowing so much of what’s in Scott Hogan’s book, Built From Broken. While it’s hefty in size, there are no wasted words. Hogan’s explanations, cited resources, photos, diagrams and workout plans are a perfect compliment to the balance both he and we seek to achieve in our own health and fitness. For example, the Pain Compensation Diagram on page 22 really hit home for me. I have a sibling who has endured back, hip and knee pain and surgeries that are all consequences of a muscle (hamstring) injury suffered 40 years ago. The Pain Compensation diagram is a snapshot fast forward to the multiple joint degenerations which, in hindsight, were inevitable, yet entirely avoidable! I could go on, but why? Do yourself a favor and buy the book. On a side note, I took someone’s advice and had BFB spiral bound. Let’s just say I literally added years to even the book’s spine! Finally, a shout out to Maffi in SaltWrap customer service. She got back to me in astoundingly quick fashion with an answer on a product question. Thank you. Kevin B Lincoln, CA”

“My love for the SaltWrap brand as a whole began after reading Scott Hogan's Built From Broken guide. I gained such an in-depth understanding of how the body works and why I was having recurring the minor injuries and pains that I was having. After this introduction to Scott's incredible knowledge on the subject of health, I invested in his science-based supplements. I currently use Salt Wrap's Mag 3D, Organ Therapy, Joint Clinic, Gut Clinic, and Collagen Synthesis. I have experienced amazing results from these products firsthand and will continue to invest in the Salt Wrap brand and myself through their continued use.”

“I suffered a painful knee injury earlier this year and have been using Salt Wrap products as part of my recovery program. I also bought Scott Hogan's book, "Built from Broken", and have been plowing through it and educating myself. His insights are invaluable and I trust his organization and products.”
