In conclusion

"Must-Read Before and After Artificial Joint Surgery"
A fundamental treatment that eliminates the cause of knee pain
A whopping 46% of patients were relieved of knee pain 'without surgery'!

Even today, orthopedic clinics are crowded with elderly people suffering from various pains from early morning.
Pain in the elderly is the result of years of using the body incorrectly.
However, the author of this book, Ichiro Tatsumi, says that if we use our bodies in the right way from now on, we can regain our health through the body's inherent resilience.
Just as the hyaline cartilage in our knees, which has already been worn out, does not regenerate, but fibrocartilage is created to replace the cartilage, our body already has a system in place to protect itself.

It's never easy to change a lifelong habit overnight.
However, no matter how much modern medicine has advanced, it cannot reproduce the original, innate condition.
Rather than inserting artificial foreign substances into the body or removing healthy bones, wouldn't it be better to use the body we were born with until death? This book prioritizes using our bodies properly and relieving pain through our own efforts, leaving surgery as a last resort.
Even if you undergo surgery, it is said that recovery is much faster if you practice this treatment method before undergoing surgery, so it is already worth the challenge if you are facing the surgery of a lifetime.
This is a great opportunity to easily learn the treatment method suggested by a world-renowned knee doctor who says that you should expect to wait at least six months for treatment, through the book "100 Year Bridge" at home.

To walk on my own legs without surgery
Three Promises You Must Keep

The author's unique conservative treatment method has cured a whopping 46% of patients with degenerative knee arthritis without surgery, using only three methods.
Correcting poor posture and gait, losing weight, and strengthening thigh muscles.
These are all there is to it, but this is the fundamental treatment that gets to the root of the cause of knee pain.
The principle is that if you correct your posture while walking to prevent the bones in your knees from rubbing against each other and thus preventing pain, lose weight to reduce the load on your knees, and exercise to strengthen your leg muscles to disperse the shock to your knees, the pain will gradually disappear and your legs will become stronger, allowing you to walk comfortably as you wish.


If you face the cause of your pain and try to eliminate it, your life can change 180 degrees.
As a doctor, what he is most wary of is the attitude of not trying to figure out why my leg hurts so much, but only trying to relieve the immediate pain.
Just as a ember can flare up into a big fire again at any time if it is not completely removed, the same goes for pain in our bodies.
Taking medication to relieve the pain may provide temporary relief, but the pain will inevitably return.
If the cause changes, the result will also change.
In an era where the average life expectancy is 100 years, this book will be a strong supporter for those who want to walk on healthy legs until they die.


Revive the four longevity muscles
Eight exercises

Author Ichiro Tatsumi discovered through the numerous patients he has met with degenerative knee arthritis that the vicious cycle begins when the head sticks forward.
Therefore, in order to return our body to its original correct posture and prevent posture from collapsing, it is recommended that we pay special attention to the four muscles as we age.
The 'abdominal muscles', 'adductors', 'pelvic floor muscles', and 'quadriceps femoris' are the 'longevity muscles' he refers to, and in this book, 'Century Bridge', he introduces eight effective postures and exercises to train these four muscles.

Starting with 'How to Stand Correctly', 'Inner Thigh Walks' to relieve knee pain, 'Toe Curls' to strengthen thigh muscles while sitting, 'CS Exercises' to return the spine to its original curve, and even 'Foot Massages' to prevent falls, all of these are designed so that the elderly can easily practice them in their daily lives without the risk of injury. They are simple enough to be done during TV commercial breaks or before meals, but if practiced properly, as mentioned above, the effects can be close to miraculous.

The period recommended by the author is 'three months at least'.
I can't help but feel excited when I hear that it only takes three months to relieve my body of pain, which has been damaged by at least 60 to 70 years of misuse, without resorting to a knife.
No one is ever late.
It's too early to give up.
How I spend the rest of my life is up to me.
Let's rediscover the joy of walking through consistent practice!

If your leg gets better with fundamental treatment,
The world looks different

I walk comfortably on my own two feet to wherever I want to go.
It may seem like a trivial thing to young people, but it is something that older people, who have grown older, cannot help but envy.
Of all the health problems that come with aging, the one that most disrupts our daily lives is degenerative knee arthritis.
The severe knee pain that comes with even the slightest movement takes away the joy of walking and, by extension, the joy of living.
No one wants to be active when they are sick.
Still, there are people who have to go on with their lives by swallowing painkillers, and there are quite a few who give up on walking and just lie down.

However, if you consistently practice the conservative treatment methods introduced in this book, you can walk on your strong legs without pain until you die.
The most important thing is to have the mindset that you can get better and that you can return your body to its original state.
The author of this book says that we need to change not only how we use our bodies and how we eat, but also how we look at life.
I will not view pain as something that must be eliminated as quickly as possible, I will not think of the prejudice against aging, I will not think of the pain as my fault for using my body in the wrong way all along…
Changing your perspective can make your future life filled with greater happiness.
I hope that through this book, more people will visit parks instead of hospitals and live that kind of life.
