4 out of 5 stars Oh the Back   December 20, 2008
Cheryl (Houston)
It's a good book and if I were to apply it's information

my back strains on the rare occurrences...would probably be a never again ache in my life



1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book   August 5, 2008
Ellen (Fairfax, VA)
This book should not have the word "exercises" in the title. It's mostly just words, words, and words. It's also very, very basic. If you really can't move at all and you don't know any exercises this might be the book for you. But if you know how to turn your head and want some better ideas and exercises try something else. I recently bought 5 back books from Amazon and this was the 2nd to last worse one. "No more aching back" was the worst.


1 out of 5 stars Extremely mediocre & extremely non evidence based   May 10, 2006

All clinician-scientist as well as lay people in
their right mind believe in evidence base medicine
This kind of lay discussion on 'exercises' without
detailed recourse to evidence, nor comparison between
different exercise programs, and omission of a decent
discussion of the causes of back pain as well as
elementary stuff like red flags make this book
extremely extremely mediocre. Extremely not up to standard

Picked this book up with a few other to gain more information on my on and off again back problems. You know how it is if you are thinking of getting this type of book. You went to all the doctors in your town and tried all the exercises they give you to do on the floor. I even spent thousands on massage therapy, a that helped for a while. But every time I went to exercise my back would hurt again. Well this is the year, I am not getting any younger, so I bought a collection of books over the last month and this is one of them i recommend for people who are tired of thier pain and want to do something about it. The other books are on exercises that have helped me very much and I am not running out of exercises to do.Good luck, hope this helps

If you need to start somewhere then this book will help you to exercise away your pain. If you already workout then this book will not give you the type of workout to improve your condition. This was given to me as a gift and I did pick up a few good pointers.
