Product Description

How women's hormones can affect their knees-and a natural, pain-free 12-week plan for relief.

Knee pain affects millions of Americans-and women make up the bulk of sufferers. But while it is a woman's anatomy, physiology, hormones, and habits that will likely determine when and how her knee will fail, many doctors still treat a woman's knee like a smaller version of a man's knee.

No More Knee Pain presents the first program designed especially for women. Written by Dr. George Kessler, who has helped hundreds of women heal their pain and reverse degenerative problems, this is the definitive book on female knee pain. Focusing on the structural and hormonal issues that bring about knee problems in women, No More Knee Pain is a groundbreaking new approach that shows women how they can at last find relief-without drugs or surgery.

Includes information on:

€ How unbalanced hormones can take a toll on the joints and what to do about it
€ The anatomy of the knee
€ What mainstream medicine offers women with knee pain-and what it doesn't
€ Nutritional supplements
€ What to eat to ease joint pain
€ Exercise dos and don'ts
€ Mind-body factors
€ Body mechanics, posture corrections, and knee exercises that really work-in just a few minutes a day

An excellent basic guide
In No More Knee Pain, women receive an excellent basic guide to natural prevention and relief of knee pain with a 12-week program geared to understanding the anatomy of the knee, common problems of the knee in women, and what takes a toll on the joints. From eating appropriately for knee health and using nutritional supplements to considering body mechanics, posture correction and preventative knee exercises, osteopathic physician George Kessler covers all the bases.

No more knee pain has food for thought
This book was recommended to me by someone who followed the suggestions for 6 weeks and voila no more knee pain! This book has opened my eyes to a lot of causes behind my knee pain.

A great, holistic book on knee for men or woman
I originally bought this for my girl friend. It was the second book from
George Kessler I have bought. What I found was that where he shows
where woman's knees are different than Men's knees, you learn about knees
for men as well.

He gets excellent reviews from such organizations as top hospital centers of joint diseases. I would recommend it to everyone. Better to understand the knee and prevent problems than recover. I'm a runner,
so I was especially interested in it from that aspect, my girl friend is a serious hiker in her 50s, and many of her friends can no longer hike
because of knee pain. I bought her a bunch of used copies to give to her friends. Then, I bought a copy for a specialist doctor I am seeing
who is very interested in getting involved in his holistic analysis and to keep on his shelf to recommend to his patients with knee problems.

It's also an easy read, he explains highly technical material clearly.

The author was voted the best professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which he teaches part time.

Also get the Bone Density Diet which should be required reading for parents, when children's bones are being developed.
