great overview, actually got information that helped my pain

the doctor shares his knowledge about knees in a very accessable manner. in his chapter on alternative treatments he mentions MSM, which I'd never heard of. i'm now using MSM to my great benefit, knee pain (left knee, outside)gone.

At long last!

An easy-to-read overview of knee problems that actually helped me! I have been dealing with knee pain for the past three years and visited many doctors, specialists and physical therapists - as well as trying many of the "alternative" treatments (massage, herbs, supplements, glucosamine, chiropractors, liniments, etc.) - with very little feeling of hope, empowerment or enlightenment, and very slow progress. I was so happy this book addressed the spiral of frustration when knee problems prevent exercise, which leads to weight gain, which causes more knee problems... And I was thrilled that this book provides many knee-strengthening exercises with easy-to-follow photos and directions. Not everything in the book was applicable - the book covers knee injuries in children, provides photos of various knee surgeries, and talks quite a bit about "baby boomers" (I am only 31) and professional athletes, but I am still very glad I read this book! Considering that it only took me one evening and one morning to finish, and I was able to gain quite a sense of hope and a lot of information, I do recommend it. Good luck!

Excellent all round book for anyone with knee pain

I've suffered from knee pain for the last three years due to prblems after surgery, which on reflection I would have not done! However, this book out of the others I've bought is the best. Particularly for rehab exercises, good photos with good instructions for each stage within the exercise.If your looking for a book to help you with your rehab, this is the one.

Knee problems - check this out

As a weekend athlete who has played various sports over the years my body has taken a beating especially my knees and back. Persistent knee pain had me researching and reading whatever I could find on the subject. Having read one of the coauthors other books on back pain I decided to give this one a shot.I tried several of the exercises detailed in the book and found them to be very effective in strengthening my knee. In addition to the exercises I tried two of the other suggested therapies - massage and hydrotherapy. I attribute the renewed sports-health of my knees to the application of the exercises and therapies found in this book.Read it - your knees will be glad you did!
