Make a Fuss

It's not age. It's a fault. And faults can be fixed.That catch in your knee on the stairs. The shoulder that won't reach the top shelf any more. The back that's always on your mind. You've been told it's your age, that you should be careful, that you should expect a little less every year.This book says otherwise.Most of the aches that get blamed on getting older aren't wear you're stuck with. They're faults, small faults in the way a joint moves, and faults can be put right. Make a Fuss shows you how to find yours and fix them yourself, at home, without giving up the things you love.You'll learn to read your own body with a few simple tests, trace each ache back to the fault that's really driving it, and fix it at the root: ankle, knee, hip, back and shoulder. Then six straightforward moves and two short sessions a week build the strength that keeps you out of trouble for good.No jargon. No gym required. No giving things up.I'm tired of watching people give up what they love because someone told them to act their age. This book is my argument against it.James Baker is a personal trainer in Bath who has spent fifteen years fixing the aches everyone else calls age.
