The Knee Sourcebook Review
After a knee injury during a hike in NC, the usual therapies weren't working for me. After following the advise in this book--RICE and closed-chain exercises got me back to health. To continue along the healing path, I began including the open-chain exercises and will use them again to prepare my body for vigerous hikes in the future.

What Was I Thinking? - Nilsa - Maine
I'm really dependent on the reviews here at Amazon when I select a book, so I don't know why I ordered this book when there were no reviews. Perhaps I can save others some money by saying that there are far better books on knee pain than this one. I actually found more information by doing a Google search for "knee pain". The section on exercise, which in the one part of the book which should be most relevent, is no more than a few pages long. The author lists several exercises in brief, and there are no photos or illustrations to show the exercises. Even stranger, there are NO stretches. I find it hard to understand how this book even came to be published. I wish that I'd been able to go to a bookstore to compare books and select the one that best met my needs, but thankfully I ordered "Knee Pain" by John Garrett, MD, at the same time that I ordered "The Knee Sourcebook" . It has two full chapters on exercises with photos, shows stretches, and has a full variety of exercises to strengthen all the muscles surrounding and supporting the knee.
