Editorial Reviews for Treat Your Own Knees: Simple Exercises to Build Strength, Flexibility, Responsiveness and Endurance Treat Your Own Knees shows how to reduce or end knee pain by improving knee function. In easy-to-grasp language, author Jim Johnson covers the physiology of the knee and the kinds of pain that affect it, along with the psychological aspects. He offers a series of straightforward exercises based on current medical data and tested in his practice. Black-and-white drawings show exactly how to do the exercises and pinpoint the precise muscles responsible for the problem. This concise, simple guide provides an effective do-it-yourself program.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good Information Comment: I bought this book for my husband. He has had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee twice. And has arthritis in both knees. He has a lot of pain and stiffness. After 2 weeks of doing the strengthening exercises in this book, he has more flexibility and less pain. He can get in and out of the tub with less difficulty. He says it is a really great book and reccomends it to anyone with knee problems. He also says the book is very easy to understand. It explains the way a knee works in terms a non-medical person can understand. Overall a great product. Customer Rating: Summary: Help Your Knees Heal!! Comment: I read this book cover to cover and found it most helpful. I don't believe in surgery unless absolutely necessary. This book guides you through all the things to do to improve your own knee health without the surgery. Fantastic! Customer Rating: Summary: 98 pages too many yet left me wanting more Comment: After reading the reviews and suffering from knee pain, I decided to buy this book. My expectations were pretty high since all of the reviews were glowing. Perhaps that's where I went wrong. I was expecting a series of ailments and exercises to help alleviate them. Instead you get one strengthening exercise, a few stretches, one prioperception exercise and a recommendation for some endurance exercise. All of this could have fit onto a single sheet of paper. Sure the discussion of the studies is interesting but it really doesn't help me treat my knees. By taking the step of buying the book, I already had commited to wanting better knees and the author didn't need to convince me to do exercises or stretch. All in all, it was a quick read and at ~$10, was less than most people pay for a co-pay. I'd recommend it if you want some general information about knee health and studies but not if you are looking for rehab exercises to get better knees. Customer Rating: Summary: Decent book to be read in a single sitting Comment: This book is okay. I can't complain because its relatively inexpensive otherwise would be 3 stars. Still, I don't find anything truly great about the book. The one nugget of information I did get from the book was that your knee actually rotates your lower leg (we all know it extends and flexes, but the book actually proves to you that your own knees rotate the lower leg as well). Due to the price, I don't mind the purchase. I wouldn't recommend this to any younger readers, I myself am 30 and don't find the 'treatments' all that relevant. I sometimes have mild knee pain that for me seems to be better treated by doing full depth squats (yes, full depth squats, performed properly are good for you and do not hurt your knees). Customer Rating: Summary: simple,yet effective Comment: the book is clearly and concisley written.the method prescribed is simple,but effective.i have also read his back pain book .he presents a clear and simple method with dealing with pain in that book also.at first one might say ,is that all there is?;but the proof is in the pudding.if you are diligent and consistent in your efforts,you will be rewarded.in these cases less is more.the author knows his stuff.
