Customer Reviews

This book really shows you how to do it.
This gives a multi-lateral approach to the problem of arthritis based on sound medical knowledge and practical experiment. It covers different forms of arthritis, dietery advice, graduated exercise and reports on conventional and alternative treatments, including side-effects,benefits and an honest account of what works and what doesn't. My GP and my remedial gymnast both approve. Two years ago I was unable to stand; this book has put me back on my feet. I cannot recommend it too highly.

Excellent advice from first-rate research
No nonsense here, just down-to-earth, sensible advice for all of us who suffer from osteo- (most of us aged 45+) or other forms of arthritis. I so often hear "I have arthritis in this knee/hip etc so I can't do this or that exercise" when the main thing that helps the pain is to strengthen the muscles so that they can protect the joint, which is usually the exercise being ruled out by the sufferer. Why and how is clearly explained, along with a full review of treatments - those that work, and those that don't (forget the copper bracelet!) Highly recommended.
