Years ago on my honeymoon, playing volleyball in the beach in Ko So Moi in Thailand, I was told I tore my ACL and would need surgery. Fortunately I visited Dr. Jordan Metzl, and he helped me heal without surgery. To this date, I do some exercises that help me keep my knees strong. Dr. Metzl has helped me for years to learn how to heal myself from athletic injuries.

Dr. Metzl just came out with a book, “The Athlete’s Book of Home Remedies,” available on Amazon, and I wondered if it would live up to his excellent guidance in person. Then yesterday I develop a deep pain in my heel – on the bottom of my foot, and couldn’t walk. I thought I would have to visit Dr. Metzl but I looked at the book just in case. Within minutes I followed his guidance, and started getting on the road to recovery following his advice, and building on it with a very good video from YouTube that further elaborated on exercises to overcome plantar fasciitis.

I highly recommend Dr. Metzl’s book – it is comprehensive, easy to read, and a real solid resource.
