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. Busy doctors, therapists, and athletic trainers have limited time to spend on quality physical and mental rehabilitation education, yet this is the key to full recovery.
Written by renowned knee surgeon and Sport Psychologist Daniel F. 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.
Daniel Fulham O’Neill, M.D., Ed.D. is in private practice in New Hampshire with The Alpine Clinic, and for over twenty years, has been caring for knees of all activity levels, from professional athletes to people who just want to walk the dog without pain. When not caring for his patients, he can be found riding his bike, hiking, and skiing in the White Mountains.
