Get moving again with expert advice

As the years go by, many of us find the need to repair our knees—knee replacement is the most common orthopedic surgery in frequency and demand in the U.S.—because knee injuries and surgery are not exclusive to professional athletes or the retired. This book explains how to prepare and recover from knee replacement surgery while employed, with a busy family life, PETS, hobbies, and obligations. It was very insightful about all the time and effort before and after surgery so the best outcome can be achieved to get moving again! Knee Replacement Secrets is informative and quite entertaining at times! Much of the advice applies to preparation and recovery from other injuries, in fact, I am using a couple of secrets now to rehab an ankle injury. Highly recommend for anyone considering orthopedic surgery with an extended recovery time.

wish I had this BEFORE Surgery.

While I have had both knees done now, I still have friends who have not. My first knee surgery was in 2015, but the whole situation was different. Then almost 9 years later I had my second one done. I haven't got along as well. But now I have more medical issues and I'm almost 10 years older. But I wish I would've
read this and followed suggestions and watched more YouTube exercises and did them! They say no two knees are the same... and in my case that was true. But there is hope and if I just Keep working through their suggested exercises and activities. I will eventually get there. They have some links to these throughout the
book & I highly suggest you look them up and try them yourself.

Practical, Clear and Helpful

Knee replacement Secrets is a must-read for anyone preparing for or recovering from knee replacement surgery. Diana Braun breaks everything down in an easy-to-understand way, sharing tips and insights that made me feel much more confident about the process. I especially appreciated the practical advice on pain management and recovery. The book provided me with the support and encouragement that I needed. Highly recommend to patients and caregivers.

I cannot praise enough

I discovered this book a little over months after receiving my knee implant. After reading it I dropped the meds I had been taking to help me sleep (AdvitPMs) and just wish my pretty good care team had been able to give me the knowledge i found here.
I truly cannot recommend it hig

I’m only 39 and don’t need a knee replacement, but I still loved this book! It’s witty, wise, and surprisingly fun to read. Full of great stories, tips, and tricks—highly recommend for anyone facing knee replacement or supporting someone who is.
