This book is excellent. It is an easy read and full of useful information. I recently had knee surgery on "torn up" meniscus and found this book to be very helpful as a follow up to my therapy. I urge anyone who wants to "save their knees" to get this book. As the saying goes "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!"

While there was some good information, this book seemed more oriented to senior or sedentary individuals. If you are somewhat athletic, you may find more value from a book more specific to your activity (for example, The Runner's Repair Manual) or a training book that will address your whole routine to catch muscular imbalances - I have found great benefit for my knees and lower back by introducing core and stability exercises into my weight workouts.

Some good information, but I wanted something a little more in-depth. I would recommend this for people who want some basic exercises and knowledge surrounding knees. If you want something that targets specific tendons, or targeted support exercises you might find something better.

And small enough to carry in my handbag, so I can read whenever I 'find' time available. Excellent exercises and clear, precise language. Highly recommend!
