Not many locals realise that one of the world’s best- selling medical authors lived and worked in Raumati Beach — and his final book in the Treat Your Own series has just been published.

It’s Treat Your Own Ankle & Archilles Tendon.

And it follows five best-selling McKenzie books — Treat Your Own Back, Treat Your Own Neck, Treat Your Own Shoulder, Knee and Hip.

Robin McKenzie died in 2013, but his work was carried on by colleagues.

So Threat Your Own Ankle provides an easy-to-follow self-treat-treatment plan.

It’s obviously part of a brilliant idea — McKenzie’s first two popular books, Treat Your Own Back and Treat Your Own Neck, sold more than six million copies and were translated into 18 different languages.

The books sell at $25 each and can be ordered on line at the <www.mckenziemethod.com>.
