Book Reviews of The Knee Crisis Handbook: Understanding Pain, Preventing Trauma, Recovering from Knee Injury, and Building Healthy Knees for Life
Book Review: most complete yet simple knee book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been having knee problems since 2006. Because of this I've previously read 3 different "knee" books from 3 different authors. That being said I ordered and read (and reread) The Knee Crisis Handbook. It is definitely the best book of its kind. If only I had read this book in 2005 I might have avoided most of my knee problems. To recover you sometimes need various multiple therapies, appropriate diagnosis and proper strengthening exercises (very gradually increased over time). What finally brought me back was cold laser therapy for 2 months by a physical therapist in Hawthorn, NY. All the things us knee sufferers go through along with various types of therapies and exercises are covered in this great book. If you are having knee pain this book is a perfect start on the long road back to being 95%-99% pain free (yes you can get there in time). I highly recommend it to anyone with knee problems.
I had tried massage, physical therapy, acupuncture (works for about a week), the stick (a huge ripoff), injections (temporary for a few weeks at most), heat, ice, pain medicine, liniments, 4 different doctors (including 3 specialists) and the biggest ripoff of all which I call the Inferno Crap (see my review of the inferno wrap). If any of you have unresolved knee injuries and physical therapies have been unsuccessful read this book and consider "cold laser therapy". It's the only thing that worked for me because I'm at least 90% better than I was 4 months ago. As your pain decreases you have to gradually increase your exercises which will strengthen your muscles and gradually help reduce or eliminate your pain. Everything you just read is nicely covered in detail in The Knee Crisis Handbook. After more than a year of intense suffering (from arthroscopic quackery - a surgery that makes you much much worse!) I'm finally 95-99% back to normal. Miracles can happen with proper knowledge and faith in a higher power. Good luck to all sufferers out there.
