This book is very encouraging and positive. Many ideas for how to stay in shape which does help beat arthritis. Unfortunately I am lazy and forget to do the exercises.

This is the 2nd copy of this book I’ve bought. The first was for myself and has been a great help with my rheumatoid arthritis over the years. Now that my daughter has been diagnosed with the same disease, I wanted her to have a copy for her own, not just my borrowed copy. Besides, I needed mine back!
The idea that we can take charge of our disease and make informed decisions, and especially, improve our condition through strength training is an empowering concept. The book discusses everything from diet to drugs to alternative treatments, with detailed instructions and diagrams on stretching and strength exercises that can be done at home and really make a difference.
I showed this book to my rheumatologist, and he was quite impressed. I’d recommend it for anyone with arthritis.

…Extremely informative for all, regardless of your health. Miriam Nelson has done it again not only with her easy reading style, but with very educational and informative text. I’m going to send as a gift to a friend.

I am the kind of person that is not going to buy or “buy into” a book unless it is supported by some reasonable evidence. If you’re like me, then you’ll love this book. It is based on a study recently conducted at the Tufts University. In short, the study used a program of exercise and nutrition to combat arthritis. The results? Pain was reduced by a whopping 43%!
Key to their program was strengthening exercises which have been shown in other studies as well as being extremely beneficial for arthritis patients. I am very pleased with books like these that offer sound treatments based on research. If you like these kind of books too and also suffer from back pain, I can recommend “The Multifidus Back Pain Solution” (available here at amazon.ca too) that is based on randomized controlled trials and involves only one exercise you do at home that strengthens your multifidus muscles found to be abnormal in many people with back pain. So start reading, start exercising, and start getting better!

I was recently diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, and I started following the nutritional suggestions in this book. I think it’s already starting to help! Plus it tells you how to perform strengthening exercises for your aching joints. I am a big fan of Dr. Nelson’s other works. I like how she explains the science and the applications. I plan to share this with my mom, who also has osteoarthritis.
