His target audience is those with Osteoarthritis, which he calls Wear and Tear. This book is also for those who don't yet have symptoms.
I appreciated that he clearly evaluates what has been proven to work. This is not just some clinical philosophy, but based on his own experience of needing to do something to stop the pain.
He describes the pro and con of a host of medications, but the book makes it very clear that increasing range of motion, and using that range of motion is much more likely to be effective in reducing or eliminating pain.
I liked his Yoga section, but kind of skimmed over it because I have been doing yoga for years. My motivation for starting yoga was to reduce/eliminate the occurrence of training injuries from running. It works. Perhaps he said it best:
"Yoga is making a major comeback. Although it may seem the latest fad, it's a medicinal art thousands of years old that can have remarkable effects on real patients with real diseases." (Page 160)
This is one of the few "health" books that I didn't have any reservations about. So, why not 5 stars? Because 5 stars means I want to reread it. I'm already doing yoga and because of this book I started taking glucosamine. It is a solid book that I recommend. (
