This book is a good reference on how to improve your knees and reduce pain. it was worth every penny. Follow the program, it works like magic. Do the pool work. I believe I will be back to running in a few weeks if I continue to improve.

I don't own this book, but Dr. Klapper actually performed my 2nd knee surgery after a first doctor botched it. He saved my knee from being totally destroyed and he definately knows that he is talking about when it comes to taking care of your knees.

Bad left knee and I live in a ski town. These exercises work. So does the heat and cold pain relief recommendation.

Book provided understandable explanation of knee injuries, but the most important information for me, were the pictures and descriptions of the exercises that help strengthen your knees prior to considering surgery.

If you're already familiar with the terms 'lateral' and 'medial', then you'll know that "Latoral joint Compartment" in figure 2-1A&B on p. 29 is probably not what they meant, especially since it's across from the "Medial joint Compartment" in the same illustration. And then again on p. 31 in figure 2-3A&B there is the "Later Menicus" [Lateral Meniscus] across from the "Medial Meniscus"
Still, the best, most detailed information I've come across on meniscus tears (I have a torn medial meniscus). Well worth the money. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-01-10 01:44:11 EST)

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.

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.
