Treat Your Own Knees
.
First Edition
by Jim Johnson P.T.
Treat Your Own Knees is a handy, easy-to-use book written by a physical therapist who has reviewed hundreds of scientific journal articles and studied their practical applications to find the most simple and effective do-it-yourself treatments for knee pain.
Using drawings and illustrations that clearly depict the correct way to perform the exercises, and the exact muscles responsible for knee pain, author Jim Johnson shows readers how to improve and maintain knee function 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 abilities, showing what it’s role is in maintaining movement and knee health, and why it is essential. The last chapter is a “master plan” that pulls together all the concepts and exercises into a time-efficient exercise program. Other chapters include:
- You Strengthen Just One Knee Muscle, Make Sure It’s This One
- How to Get a Flexible Knee
- Simple Ways to Increase Your Knee Endurance
- Some Things You May Not Have Thought About (Stress)
