4 stars simple,yet effective
the book is clearly and concisley written.the method prescribed is simple,but effective.i have also read his back pain book .he presents a clear and simple method with dealing with pain in that book also.at first one might say ,is that all there is?;but the proof is in the pudding.if you are diligent and consistent in your efforts,you will be rewarded.in these cases less is more.the author knows his stuff.


5 stars Excellent Book
I've never written an Amazon review before, but this little book impressed me so much that other readers should share its benefits.

I damaged my knee in a motorcycle accident and had recurring pain for two years. A string of hospitals, therapists and acupuncturists were all unable to diagnose, never mind treat, the problem.

6 weeks after doing only part of the exercises, my knee has stopped locking up and I don't feel any discomfort after playing soccer.

In short: I can't recommend this book highly enough. Well done Mr. Johnson and your team.


5 stars make sense
It is a small book easy to carry around. It is written in a clear and easy to understand way. I bought it for my husband. He liked it.


5 stars Cronic Knee Pain In Both Knees
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has suffered with knee pain. I have problems with both knees and in the past had tried physical therapy. The exercises prescribed by the therapists actually aggravated the problem so I stopped doing them. This book is extremely informative and explains the need for stretching your muscles (something I never did before )as well as doing simple isometric exercises (I was told to do leg lifts which made the knee pain worse). Plus you can do them at your own pace without someone standing over your shoulder pushing you to do more when or if you're not ready. Buy this book and follow what he suggests; you won't be sorry!


5 stars Simple book you need if you have any knee problems
I just had ACL replacement surgery and this book is a great resource and tool. This book tells you what you need to know in order to put together a basic workout routine to strengthen your knee no matter what your issue is. This book explains to you what Physical Therapists won't take the time to explain and allows you to ask intelligent questions of your therapist and surgeon. Note, this book was what turned me on to massage techniques which have sped my recovery immensely. Most insurance plans won't cover massage, and physical therapists and surgeons don't recommend it unless you ask. If you get no other books about knee recovery, get this one!!
