As a physio assistant I think this is a great book. It's strikes a good balance between medical and lay person information.

Best book ever for knee injurys!! January 19, 2008

This book is plain and simple and does exactly what it says on the cover. I've had a knee problem for a while due to age and excessive running but this book really spelt things out so clear that I would imagine physio's everywhere wanting to ban it. It's got to be one of the easiest books to follow and I honestly think that it has probably saved me several trips to see a specialist for sure. I can't recommend this one enough.

'I dont b...... believe it!' Why didnt i find this book years ago?????!!!!. It is a small easy to read book which i skim read within an hour and the one simple exercise (non painful - you need a cushion to do it) and stretches immediately...yes immediately gave me some much needed respite from pain i have had in both knees for years. The author hit the nail on the head straight away by saying most people dont have the time to visit a therapist or just stop doing those things which tend to niggle an old injury. I have just started on a fitness regime and man do my knees give me some jip. But again the simple exercise and stretches helped relieve the pain within the hour.

What the hell, for a few pounds what can you lose, just buy it and try it. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me. Good luck

A great place to start June 23, 2006

This is a great place to start if you have knee injury or wish to improve strength and flexibility. It is short enough to not get you bogged down in jargon and to get through quickly (enabling you to put the routine and advice into action) yet has enough information and advice to improve most problems you are likely to experience with your knees. Well worth a read.

Great little book and more than worth the small price.

The book emphasises that this is good for by far, most knee problems (including arthritis - which I dont have as far as I know). My left knee, the bane of my hiking life, is much stronger and healthier feeling than it has for a long while and I still only am 4 weeks through the 8 week program.

The exercises are simple to do, take little time and need no specialist equipment (unless you call a pillow, specialist?).

I would suggest that you do the pillow-based exercise, before
you go to sleep, in bed, as Ive found it leaves my knee slightly sore for a few hours afterwards (by being in bed you omit this issue)! Plus the sleeping rests your leg thoroughly - which in itself is part of the fixing process.

I can now concentrate on walking several miles every weekend, without worrying about hobbling back.

Also a quick thanks to Amazon, as I wouldnt have purchased this book if I hadnt done a search on 'knees' and read the reviews. I would, therefore, still be suffering!
