Solid Advice, Easy-to-Read Format,
This book is laying on the floor next to my bed. Why? I do the exercises every morning, and refer to the chapter to make sure I don’t miss any. I do most of the exercises on the floor, so that’s where the book lives. It is a part of my life now.
I’ve suffered from low-grade back pain for years, and learned a lot from this book. I especially like the integrated mind-body approach, the solid, realistic information about the mechanics of the spine, and the practical advice for care and recovery.
I’ve spoken with a chiropractor and an MD about my back problems, and the advice they gave me is identical to the advice in this book — and the book was far less expensive.
Unless you were injured, your back took years to get into its current condition, and it will take a while to improve. This book is a first-rate map of the road to recovery.

This book is the best defense against unneeded surgery.,
As an orthopaedic surgeon, I try everything possible to avoid surgery on back pain patients. This book outlines great strategies to deal with back pain in ways which don’t involve surgery. Although operations have their place, every non-surgical option within reason should be explored first. This book is a well-written guide to that process and should be required reading for any patient contemplating surgery for back pain.
