Book Reviews of Treat Your Own Knees: Simple Exercises to Build Strength, Flexibility, Responsiveness and Endurance
Book Review: Small but Mighty
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, this book is small: 6 x 4 or so and 100 pages. That surprised me. Yet, it's the perfect size to put in your workout bag or keep by the TV. A couple of people complained that the book tells nothing new and is too brief. The truth is that there isn't much new to do for knees. Those of us with knee problems usually have weak supporting muscles that need to be strengthened. Speaking of support, the author, a physical therapist, provides scientific supporting evidence for what he tells you. I always respect that. This isn't just what he thinks will work, it's what science has informed his profession will work. He tells you if you do the exercises, you will see positive change in 6 weeks. He even includes a Weekly Program Checklist that you can follow. That alone is worth the price of the book. There's no fluff here. The book is written in a nice, conversational style and includes everything YOU need to "build strength, flexibility, responsiveness, and endurance." I've had four knee (arthroscopic) surgeries and I didn't learn one more thing from the 4-6 weeks of PT following EACH surgery that this PT/author doesn't reveal in his book. There is no magic that I know of: You have to do the leg lifts; you have to stretch! This book is a nice little reminder and motivator. I had my last surgery a year ago. I needed to be reminded that I must Treat My Own Knees forever. Gotta run. My paperback PT is waiting; I have leg lifts and stretching to do. Maybe if I follow this program, I won't have a 5th knee surgery.
