Books

• Knee Surgery
  Millions of people have knee surgery each year, and in the years to come, as millions more head to the operating room, chances are you or someone you know will undergo knee surgery. Busy doctors, therapists, and athletic trainers have limited time to spend on an individual's physical and mental rehabilitation, yet these are the keys to full recovery.
• Survival of the Fit
  offers a new, revelatory, and occasionally controversial, plan to save the health of America's youth, and lays out a blueprint for parents and educators to make our kids stronger, smarter, and better equipped to lead a healthy and happy life.
