He has written many books based completely on published research and controlled trials including Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis, Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis, The Sixty-Second Motivator, Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff, The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution, Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis, Treat Your Own Achilles Tendinitis and Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow. His books have been translated into other languages and thousands of copies have been sold worldwide. Besides working full-time as a clinician in a major teaching hospital and writing books, Jim Johnson is a certified Clinical Instructor by the American Physical Therapy Association and enjoys teaching physical therapy students from all over the United States. Drawing from the latest research, Treat Your Own Iliotibial Band Syndrome offers a simple and quick program that will help you recover from knee pain caused by the little understood iliotibial band. The book is illustrated with over 40 drawings and photographs, which enables the reader to easily learn what causes this syndrome, and how to get rid of the inflammation it creates in the knee. Readers are also guided step-by-step through a targeted exercise program, which is designed to eliminate the syndrome and keep it from ever coming back. Perhaps best of all, the exercises can be done in the privacy of one's home with little cost or equipment - and they take just a few minutes each day to do.
