Body in action - Sarah Key

No one has to accept premature ageing, with its accompanying aches and pains, argues the author of this book, which offers a self-help programme aimed at enabling the reader to feel younger and achieve a better body and a healthier life.;Accompanying a BBC 1 series, the book is intended for anyone who has suffered from stiff joints, backache or frozen shoulder, and all those who would like to ensure they never will. It explains how the main joints work, how they can go wrong and how to put them right with simple, graded exercises. It shows how to spot the warning signs even before a joint develops problems, and how to take immediate action to reverse the trend. All the major joints are covered, including the back, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers, hips, knees, ankles and feet.;The author, who also wrote "Back in Action", has a physiotherapy practice in Harley Street and in Australia, and has treated The Queen and The Prince of Wales.
