"A legitimate attempt to help the arthritic patient. This is a practical book which should help many sufferers."From a review of, "Pain-Free Arthritis", written by internationally honored... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Dvera Berson is a beautiful gutsy lady with determination and spirit. She contracted severe arthritis at the age of 56 and was crippled for years until she discovered the benefits of water exercise and, most importantly, determined how often, where, and exactly what to do in the water to gradually become pain free. I am convinced that her method is superior to the Arthritis Foundation water exercise classes. The method takes commitment but anyone with access to a pool can benefit. Dvera explains that most arthritis is in the bones and joints, which do not directly benefit from exercise; but it is the muscles and ligaments that are painful, and those can become painfree with her exercises. What's more, the exercises are enjoyable and not painful to do! Note that the book is somewhat expensive and not updated since the 80's, as it was privately published by Dvera to offer her method to others. It is still the best book I have found, and the soundest advice.
