Product Description
Millions of people have knee surgery each year, and in the years to come millions more will head to the O.R. Chances are, you or someone you know has had or will undergo knee surgery.

O’Neill, M.D., Ed.D., this comprehensive and accessible guide presents what you’ll want and need the most after knee surgery: a scientifically-based recovery program you can understand that will get you back to work and sports as quickly as possible. In this age of same-day surgery and do-it-yourself health, KNEE SURGERY presents an easy-to-do, well-illustrated program of movement for knee rehabilitation - with a special focus on the mind/body connection - and describes the physical and mental rehabilitation process in complete detail, providing all the guidance you need to decrease pain and increase fitness after knee surgery.

Knee Surgery: The Essential Guide to Total Knee Recovery (book) by Patricia L. Terho (Portland, Oregon)

Book: Knee Surgery: The Essential Guide to Total Knee Recovery -- I received this book (written by a doctor) recently and have not had a chance to read all of it yet, but it looks very interesting when I skim through it. It came highly recommended to me by a person who had knee surgery; she felt this book answered a lot of questions and had all the information she needed to know for pre- and post-surgery therapies,etc. I am anxious to sit down and read through it before I have my knee replacement surgery next month. I gave this five stars based on my friend's glowing report about the book.
