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.

(Hide Review...)  Best surgeon there is
Reviewer Permalink
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.

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.

(Hide Review...)  Another good book in need of a copyeditor
Reviewer Permalink
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.

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.

(Hide Review...)  Confronting common knee problems which come with aging & use
Reviewer Permalink
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.
