Summary of Jim Johnson's Treat Your Own Knees

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The underlying principles upon which this book is based are that most knee pain is the result of dysfunction, and that the best treatment is based on restoring the function of the knee. #2 The knee is made up of many different muscles that surround the joint. The knee must have good muscular strength to be able to perform the tasks it is being called upon to do. #3 The knee is a simple joint that allows movement in several directions. The knee joint requires flexibility to allow movement, and sensory nerves that travel from the knee back to the brain to report sensations. #4 The fourth ability your knee must have is endurance. Endurance is the ability of your knee to do its job not just once or twice, but over and over and over again. This is the case with activities such as walking, running, and stair climbing.
