About the Book

NEW JOINTS is a must-read for anyone considering joint replacement. Though the illustrated exercises focus on knees and hips, the information directly relates to preparing for any orthopedic surgery. Written in a non-technical, approachable format, this manual addresses subjects that are applicable not only to those considering surgery, but to anyone who wants to learn how to better move in their own body. Chapters include: how to personalize exercises; the importance of setting goals and how to do so; understanding pain; balance and proprioception; self image; developing support systems; websites and books to use as additional tools. NEW JOINTS is also an excellent tool for helping readers learn how to communicate their own specific orthopedic issues and needs to doctors and physical therapists. Ms. Wolfe has worked with both groups and individuals as a fitness trainer, as a massage therapist, and has worked with many individuals before and after orthopedic surgeries. Both she and her husband have been through their own injuries and orthopedic surgeries, and NEW JOINTS is informed by her experiences in maintaining their functioning.
About the Author: Jackie Wolfe began distance running in 1972, and weight lifting in 1973. She graduated from Bates College in 1977 with a BA in Anthropology. She lived in NYC where she worked as (among other things) a personal trainer and a police officer. She recieved her Physical Fitness Specialist Certification from the Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas, Texas in 1990. She also studied Filipino and Okinawan martial arts for 15 years. In 1995 she recieved her Massage Therapy license from The Swedish Institute for Massage Therapy in NYC. When her knee pain became too intense to continue running she learned to in-line skate. In 1998 she had arthroscopic surgery on both knees. She retired from NYPD in 1999, and in 2002 moved with her husband to the central Oregon Coast where she rows in a single scull and still practices massage. She began a daily meditation practice in 2009.
