About Treat Your Own Knee
From the Worldwide Best-Selling Treat Your Own Series, this Book Offers Knee Pain Relief Tools to Help You Get Better and Stay Better If you have knee pain, it’s likely that it affects your ability to get up from sitting, squatting or kneeling. It may also make it difficult to walk and go up and down stairs. If you develop a limp, your body may compensate for your knee, causing pain to develop in other areas of your body. You may have tried common treatments including pain medication, injections, surgery, acupuncture, or electrical modalities such as ultrasound, TENS, or interferential therapy. While some of these treatments may appear to give short-term benefit, none have strong evidence that they provide effective long-term relief from pain and loss of function. That’s where this book comes in. Written by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, Treat Your Own Knee offers a system of self-treatment that you can do anytime pain arises. Better yet, you can apply this system of treatment to yourself in order to reduce the likelihood of recurrence of pain. This system is called the McKenzie Method®, developed by Robin McKenzie who worked with more than 20,000 patients over the course of his forty years of practice helping patients reduce and sometimes eliminate knee pain, leg pain, joint pain and more. This guide offers an understanding of how the knee works and how overstretching and overloading of soft tissues around the knee can lead to mechanical knee pain as well as tissue damage. You’ll learn about common causes of knee pain and lifestyle factors that contribute to knee pain, as well as ways to manage and avoid pain by improving lifestyle habits, knee health and joint health. Lastly, you’ll be given an exercise program that includes a sequence of simple knee therapy exercises that will enable you to successfully self-treat your knee condition and could help you avoid surgery and knee replacement. Color photos and simple step-by-step instructions show you how to perform the exercises for effective knee treatment. In addition to this exercise program, you’ll discover when to do the exercises, how to know if you are performing the exercises correctly, what to do when the pain has subsided, and how to prevent recurrence of pain. In Treat Your Own Knee you’ll learn: The problem with MRIs Myths about knee pain The anatomy of the knee and how the knee works The basics of mechanical knee pain Common causes of knee pain and how to manage it How the McKenzie Method works McKenzie Method stretches and exercises to help treat and prevent knee pain Lifestyle habits to help treat and prevent knee pain This patient handbook provides an easy-to-follow self-treatment plan to quickly and effectively diagnose, alleviate, treat and manage debilitating knee and related pains, even for the long-term sufferer.
