الوصف

Synopsis "Treat Your Own Knees" is a handy, easy-to-use book written by a physical therapist who 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. It uses drawings and illustrations that clearly depict the correct way to perform the exercises, and the exact muscles responsible for knee pain. The reader will also gain knowledge of how to improve and maintain knee function by enhancing the four crucial abilities every knee must have: muscular; flexibility; responsiveness; and 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 programme.
