## Description

Treat Your Own Knees: Simple Exercises to Build Strength, Flexibility, Responsiveness and Endurance : Johnson, Jim: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Excellent - Great little book and more than worth the small price. The book emphasises that this is good for by far, most knee problems (including arthritis - which I dont have as far as I know). My left knee, the bane of my hiking life, is much stronger and healthier feeling than it has for a long while and I still only am 4 weeks through the 8 week program. The exercises are simple to do, take little time and need no specialist equipment (unless you call a pillow, specialist?). I would suggest that you do the pillow-based exercise, before you go to sleep, in bed, as Ive found it leaves my knee slightly sore for a few hours afterwards (by being in bed you omit this issue)! Plus the sleeping rests your leg thoroughly - which in itself is part of the fixing process. I can now concentrate on walking several miles every weekend, without worrying about hobbling back. Also a quick thanks to desertcart, as I wouldnt have purchased this book if I hadnt done a search on 'knees' and read the reviews. I would, therefore, still be suffering!
Review: Helpful, up to a point. - I have had this book for several years and the recommended exercises regime had helped whenever my knee got stiff and painful - until this year when, instead of helping, I found that the exercises were making things worse! I would not discourage you from trying the exercise regime suggested in this book, it could be just what you need. But it won't be the answer to everyone's knee problems. The book is concise and clear and I like that the author gives some background to his recommendations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A revelation.
*by M***R on 7 June 2009*

I purchased a copy of this book on the strength of the customer reviews here, and I have to say that after a couple of months I am in agreement with the general sentiment here. I have had pain in my right knee for several years, a problem that seemed to manifest itself when I began to run several times a week. It would come and go, but recently it has become more persistent. I'm 33 and put this down to the aging process, but was ready to give this book a try to see if it would make a difference. I think the biggest revelation for me is the concept of "proprioception", something that I'd never heard about before. It's basically about how your brain communicates, via your nervous system, with the various parts of your body - including your knee - and tells them how to function correctly. I combined the proprioception exercises with the quad strengthening regime. I tried to approach the book with an open mind, but I had to deal with my own ego when it came to muscle strengthening. I have been weight training for years, and my legs are probably my strongest body part. I can squat pretty heavy weights for my size, so I was quite skeptical when the book attributed weakness in the quad muscles as a contributing factor to knee pain. Anyway, I cast my prejudices (and arrogance) aside and decided to go ahead with the exercises. I was immediately taken with how quickly I noticed the effects. Within days, the pain in my knee had been reduced considerably. I didn't want to get too excited too quickly - there could have been other reasons for the lack of pain - but sure enough, I'm now writing after a couple of months have gone by and my knee is still holding up. Obviously, physiotherapy of any kind is no substitute for treatment, but I'm certain that following the guidelines laid out in this book has improved the health of my knee. I feel much fitter and eager to do the rigorous training that I used to do, and no longer have to worry about my knee playing up. I may or may not need surgery on my knee in the future, but for the time being I am very happy with the results brought on by this book.
