More information

Degeneration knee disease is very common in Hong Kong but there are still many myths about its cause, symptoms, treatment and care. The book, entitled “Protecting your knees to prevent degenerative knee disease” has placed emphasis on non-pharmacological measures like exercise, lifestyle modification and knee protection technique in managing the disease instead of solely relying on drugs, which are symptomatic treatment only, and there may also be side effects like internal bleeding.

Topics covered in this book include: different types of treatment for degenerative knee disease, simple methods to achieve pain relief, the adverse effect of posture, assistive devices, appropriate exercise for people with knee pain, body weight control and tips on selecting proper shoes. A DVD is included to demonstrate the exercises and proper posture for knee protection.
