Jim Johnson has researched hundreds of scientific journal articles to
find and test the simplest most effective do-it-yourself treatments for
knee pain. In this compact and accessible book, he shows readers exactly
how to improve and maintain the functioning of their knees by enhancing
the four crucial abilities every knee must have:
** muscular strength
** flexibility
** responsiveness (proprioception)
** endurance
A chapter is devoted to each of these four functions, showing why they
are essential. The reader is shown exactly how to do simple home
exercises designed to restore or improve that particular ability. The
last chapter is a "master plan" that pulls together all the concepts and
exercises into a time-efficient exercise program. The author guides the
reader effortlessly through the exercise routine.
Clear drawings illustrate the muscles responsible for knee pain and the
exact way to do the exercises.
All the information is based on research trials and studies and evidence
from peer-reviewed journals. The author has chosen for this book the
best techniques for relieving knee pain.
