4.0 out of 5 stars A helpful guide for arthritis sufferers!, April 11, 2000

This review is from: The Arthritis Exercise Book: Gentle, Joint-By-Joint Exercises to Keep You Flexible and Independent (Paperback)

In addition to the good descriptions of arthritis, I found this book to be a great collection of exercises. A complete list of gentle exercises to increase range of motion, flexibility and strength are all described and illustrated in this little book. Shortly after being diagnosed with rhumatoid arthritis I checked out an armload of arthritis books from my public library. The one that I liked the best was this common sense little volume. It is small enough to tuck into your suitcase and take on a trip or to leave on your chairside table as a reminder to do some of the exercises during the evening TV commercials. It has helped me and I highly recommend it for anyone who has been diagnosed with either osteoarthritis or rhumatoid arthritis.

I bought this book for my mother and although this publication is quite old the exercises in the book have not dated. There are clear illustrations together with easy to follow written instructions for all the exercises. All parts of the body are covered so whether arthritis affects your neck or your knees this book is for you. My mother is 85 and had no difficulty doing the exercises which have helped her enormously.
