"If your knee pain has appeared out of the blue and been troubling you for a while; if youve tried everything to get rid of it to no avail; if you have pain despite a normal x-ray; or if you have arthritis, you will find the solutions to your knee problems in this book. Although some issues require more specialist management, a significant amount of pain has underlying causes that are simple, straightforward and treatable with the home-exercise programme devised by experienced physiotherapist Jim Johnson in Treat Your Own Knees. Designed to improve and maintain the four vital functions of the knee - strength, responsiveness, flexibility and endurance - it requires no special equipment, and can be carried out in your own home, in your own time, whatever your level of fitness or knee function. In addition to a six-week programme of exercises to treat knee problems, this book also explains how to use massage, relaxation and heat to manage pain, and will be effective for anyone with knee issues, whether youre an athlete, an older person, or simply tired of your knee hurting all the time"--Publishers description.
