Confronting common knee problems which come with aging & use
With an orthopedic surgeon and a water therapy expert combining forces as in Heal Your Knees: How To Prevent Knee Surgery - And What To Do If You Need It, you can't go far wrong; particularly when the objective is avoiding surgery and confronting common knee problems which come with aging and use. Learn what the doctor looks for in a knee exam, how to uncover common causes of pain and seek non-surgical remedies, and how to handle surgery and recovery if it's needed. The authors assume no prior medical or self-help knowledge, and the water therapy pool exercises are particularly resourceful in Heal Your Knees.

Heal Your Knees
I bought this book because I have a damaged miniscus in my knee. This book allowed me to understand what exactly went wrong with my knee. It enabled me to understand my surgeon when he explained my options. It is a good value and well worth the asking price.

The Best
Easty to read. Informative. Good exercises that were explained in detail for both land and water exercises. Anyone with knee problems should read this book. It also allayed some of my fears regarding knee surgery as he explained what to expect.
