Testimonials for 'Granny.'
"Written in an easy to read engaging format, "Granny" is full of useful information for anyone who is anticipating a knee replacement. The sooner you read this book the better, but I would recommend it anytime after or long before a replacement. The Feldenkrais movement exercises in this book will help you take the stress off your knees and get your whole body supporting your movements making them easier and more efficient. It is also helpful to go into surgery prepared with knowledge and expectations as well as a body sense of ways to move that will help you immediately after surgery. I would recommend this book for anyone with arthritis in their knees or anyone who wants to help them, including my fellow PT's." ~Tracy, PT
"Very well written and illustrated. Obviously the result of lots of experience with many people. Since knee replacements are becoming increasingly common I think this is a " must have" handbook for pre and post op. Highly recommended, an invaluable resource for both the patient and their family." ~ Laurel M. "A practical easy to follow guide on how to take care of your body (not only your knees). HONESTLY this book will change the quality of your life! Explained as a story with excellent graphic illustrations you can change how you move through life. See the results in the space of only a few weeks and I am not just talking physically. Once we honor our bodies we honor who we are - the Mind/Body/Spiritual Organism which is who we truly are!" ~ Paula P. "A practical guide so one can learn to move correctly and not injure their knees, hips, or back. Recommend it highly." ~ Ronald H. |

Met the author and she is so enthusiastic and knowledgable on the subject of knees. Loved how it was written through the eyes of a young boy." ~ Margaret K. "I know from personal experience how incredibly helpful this Feldenkrais ( Miss Linda Thomas' ) approach is. It somehow takes away all the pain which the other therapists told me was necessary for a successful outcome. My orthopedist could not believe how much range of motion and healing I had gained. Now it is available in a simple to read, charming book from Amazon!! Hurray!! Go Granny, go!!!" ~ Anne B. "Finally a book about someone who has a good experience with the Feldenkrais Method before, and after surgery. Lovely drawings." ~ Rose E. |
