If you find yourself suffering with joint pain, this book will give you real strategies for reclaiming your life. This book details recent research and discoveries for dealing with this chronic condition. I wanted to find good options for myself. I hoped sharing my discoveries would encourage anyone who reads this book. If you are in your 60’s like me, many of you are already struggling with pretty well developed osteoarthritis. However, this book is aimed at people who are my age, but also anyone older or younger (even significantly younger) who are feeling stiff or achy and want some answers and some help. In fact, if you are in your 40’s and have even a slight change in your movements or the feelings of your joints, you have a chance to slow or even stop the progression of osteoarthritis. This condition is so prevalent in our society today that even if you don’t think you have osteoarthritis, being familiar with it is in your best interest. This is more than degradation of bone and cartilage. It is a signal the body is wearing out. It threatens our mobility and independence. It threatens our anticipated future. Arthritis threatens who we are. Aging may be part of the development of osteoarthritis but it is the psychological trauma that wreaks havoc with us in the beginning.
