Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A short guide from a physical therapist that gives general information about his experience in treating knee pain. Basic exercises are given with a simple plan. Some research is shared that opens the argument that the pain is not always caused by injuries, but may be due to other factors like muscle endurance in the quads. ( ) Excellent information. Slightly more info and a few more supportive activities (heat, massage, relaxation) compared to early version of this book, Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis. However, I find that earlier book easier to follow, and the charts for tracking the 6-week program include pictures in that book so are much easier to remember and follow. no reviews | add a review
