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.

Doctors often prescribe exercise for their arthritic patients but without explicit instructions. While there are numerous books on this condition, few current ones deal specifically with exercises. Sobel and Klein ( Arthritis: What Works , LJ 8/89) based this guide on their nationwide survey of arthritics, which showed that 95 percent of those surveyed found pain was relieved or ended with the right kind of exercise. Exercises for each part of the body are described, explained, and diagrammed so that the reader can initiate an individualized program. They are rated at different levels of activity from one to four, i.e., from low-key (done in bed) to high-key (walking). Also included are self-evaluation checklists and advice on what to do during arthritis flare-ups. This book will be of help to doctors, physical therapists, and exercise instructors as well as patients. Recommended for all popular medical collections.

***** If you suffer from arthritus, putting the suggestions in this book to work for you will help you a lot.

***** The authors provide very good instruction with easy to follow steps and illustrations. As a Pilates & fitness instructor, I bought this book in order to better understand and help my clients who suffer from arthritis. I now have an even better understanding of the importance of mobility for the arthritic person and the best movements for them.

***** The exercises in this book are very basic stretching and flexibility exercises. They work well for me when I am having flare ups of my joints. Normally I exercise more aggressively. There are many varied exercises in this book, exercises cover every motion of every joint. Would recommend.
