Arthritis, What Exercises Work: Breakthrough Relief For The Rest Of Your Life, Even After Drugs & Surgery Have Failed
This book has fine detailed and easy to follow the instructions. I am a retired nurse and have been having recurring aggravations from old orthopedic injuries and this book gave me exactly what I needed to know...without the expense of a medical office visit. You might have some of this info in other books if you have some of the better books for athletes, but it is a single most useful condensation of the best of the best and includes some new 'moves' as well. This book will be on my shelf until my kids inherit it! I am no longer limping around in pain, but am moving freely and doing my exercises and stretches several times a day.
