Book Reviews of The Knee Crisis Handbook: Understanding Pain, Preventing Trauma, Recovering from Knee Injury, and Building Healthy Knees for Life
Book Review: Hope for hopeless knees
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is amazing! I've been suffering with knee problems for 30+ years and have seen many specialists, but never have I understood the knee, its mechanics and its problems the way I do now. I have purchased a copy of this book for everyone I know who suffers with bad knees- from sports, injuries, arthritis, etc. Written in enjoyable prose, Halpern explains the way the knee is constructed along with its inherent problems given that we force it to operate in ways it was never designed to move and that we don't pay enough attention to medial healing. The strength and flexibility-building exercises are superb, and include everything I've ever done in (expensive) physical therapy and more. Everyone! should have this book!
