5.0 out of 5 stars The Defining Book Regarding Knee Health, May 11, 2007

This review is from: The One Stop Knee Shop (Paperback)

"Dr. Jack Jensen, eminently qualified and experienced orthopedic surgeon, has written the defining book regarding knee health in a logical, common-sense and understandable style, covering injury-prevention and rehabilitation from injury and knee surgery. The One Stop Knee Stop provides a straight-forward blueprint for athletes of all abilities in recreational or competitive sports to maintain "healthy knees." I genuinely regret that I did not have the benefit of the information contained in The One Stop Knee Shop available during my personal competitive career."

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Written and Quite Approachable, May 11, 2007

By 

Ellen Marsh - See all my reviews

This review is from: The One Stop Knee Shop (Paperback)

"The One Stop Knee Shop is well written and quite approachable, despite the technical nature of its topic. The author does a fine job of explaining medical concepts and human anatomy in a light-hearted, conversational manner that is neither condescending nor intimidating, and still delivers accurate and informative details. Furthermore, the book offers a considerable amount of good advice for maintaining the health of one's knees, and best of all, is not just aimed at athletes or weekend warriors."
