Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Doctors often prescribe exercise for their arthritic patients but without explicit instructions. While there are numerous books on this condition, few current ones deal specifically with exercises. Sobel and Klein ( Arthritis: What Works , LJ 8/89) based this guide on their nationwide survey of arthritics, which showed that 95 percent of those surveyed found pain was relieved or ended with the right kind of exercise. Exercises for each part of the body are described, explained, and diagrammed so that the reader can initiate an individualized program. They are rated at different levels of activity from one to four, i.e., from low-key (done in bed) to high-key (walking). Also included are self-evaluation checklists and advice on what to do during arthritis flare-ups. This book will be of help to doctors, physical therapists, and exercise instructors as well as patients. Recommended for all popular medical collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Does Work, December 10, 2000
By A Customer
After checking ARTHRITIS: WHAT EXERCISES WORK out of the library for the third time in a year, I broke down and bought it. It's terrific. The exercises are tied to specific joints, ranging from the small, fingers and toes, on to shoulders, hips, knees, etc. Some you can even do in bed, but many are much more challenging--there is a range. Doing these for just a couple of weeks increased my flexibility tremendously--washing my back, tieing my shoes, and so forth much easier. And I'm a 53 year old professional female who is in "good shape" with aerobics and strength training--but the targeted flexibility/joint exercises here were new to me. I highly, highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is th BEST!, September 24, 2005
I suffer with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis in my entire body! With inflammation in my entire body, mobility is very very limited! I tried these exercise every morning for a week. I couldn't believe how much my mobility had improved in that week. Now I do the exercises everyday at least twice a day. This book is definetly worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really truly helpful!, January 13, 2007
By F.Faulkner "F.F." (Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
I suffered for 8 months with inflammatory arthritis in my knees. I saw doctor after doctor, had test after test. The only solution was Celebrex which gave me chest pain. I got this book at our library out of desperation; I felt too young to lose my mobility. I'm thrilled to say these exercises were outstanding and really DO help.
Best of all, the are at least half a dozen helpful exercises for every joint area in the body starting at the top and going down - even the jaw is covered.
My husband started the exercises for back & jaw (he's got TMJ) and they helped him as well.
I can't thank the authors enough for compiling such an honestly helpful book. How refreshing to actually find something that does what it says it does. THANK YOU. I have some relief in life finally.
