He's good at putting medical terminology is plain English, and the muscle diagrams are very clear. But he doesn't cover all areas of the body, and seems to cover only common aliments. The appendices are very good, and the rehab exercises are very easy to understand. But the rest of the book is hard to sort through. For more detail, I prefer 'The Sports Medicine Bible' by Lyle Micheli.

There's nothing in this book that you can't get off the internet. General knowledge. Save your money. This book is useless.

This book presents a mixture of information and factoids that most people should already know from all the information commonly available today. Most of it stems from common sense and the rest you should have gotten from your physician.
I did not get much out of this book.

If you expect to find some revolutionary therapy in this book, save your money.
Nonetheless, since this book is currently available at very low prices, it may be worth having just because it is written in a clear and entertaining style and maybe useful as a supplementary source of information.

If you have serious physical concerns, this book IS NO substitute for a visit to a good specialist.

This book is definitely NOT a "Body Repair Kit"

Overall the book is great. However he does not indicate if his rehab exercises should be done even if they cause pain.

This book has an extremely tender bedside manner; it manages to be both intelligent and humorous without condescension. A well-written guide.

Although I have not yet purchased this book (I am right now!) I have become a huge believer as of today. I left St Vincent's hospital less than 6 hours ago after Dr. Feldman performed Shoulder Arthroscopy on me to help correct a repetitive injury.

I did not even know he was a writer as well, until EVERY HOSPITAL STAFF MEMBER commented to me how he is truly the best in the business from New York. I feel truly lucky and blessed that I found the perfect surgeon to help me heal.

Once I finish reading the book, I will write a review on more than just the man's skills & helpful insight.
