Flying Up the Stairs!  What You Need to Know About Menopausal Arthritis to Break Free
“Practical, informative, encouraging, and grounded in important recent research, this book offers even sedentary women an excellent starting point for improving motion, mobility, and comfort for many of the problems that may emerge after menopause. It describes well how muscle groups, tendons, ligaments, and joints all function and interact, and how important it is to address holistically how all parts of our bodies work together.”--Judy Norsigian, Executive Director and co-founder, Our Bodies Ourselves (OBOS), also known as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective (BWHBC), and co-author of all editions of the landmark book on women's health and sexuality, Our Bodies, Ourselves“Flying Up the Stairs is a very thorough discussion of arthritis in menopause, full of great information. I think menopausal women will find it helpful.”--Mache Seibel, M.D., Founder DoctorSeibel.com/Menopause and My Menopause Magazine“I think that Phyllis Rickel-Wong is ahead of the curve in her recommendations about how to exercise the whole muscle group. Medical professionals will love her book because it has all the research to back it up.”--Rebecca Hulem, RN, RNP, CNM, Certified Menopause Clinician and best-selling author of Feelin' Hot? A Humorous, Informative and Truthful Look at Menopause“Phyllis Rickel-Wong has written an outstanding book, Flying Up the Stairs, that is certain to become a classic read for all women suffering from menopausal arthritis. This common, painful affliction is often misdiagnosed or treated unsuccessfully by traditional medical interventions. Dr. Herbert Wong, a martial arts master, has developed the series of simple effective exercises for strengthening the soft tissues of the body that are key elements for relieving painful joints. As an integrative medicine physician and sub-specialist in neuro-musculoskeletal medicine, I highly recommend this book for patients and physicians alike.”--Jay Sandweiss, D.O., C-NMM/OMM, FAAMA
