Solid August 25, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I spent years reading these guys research, and in this book, they have put it all together in one handy volume. The book cites a lot of studies from the academic research and does get technical. In fact, I know some physical therapists that have gotten lost reading it! Therefore, potential buyers should know that the book is mainly for people who are in the medical profession that specialize in spine problems.
As a treatment for spinal problems, spinal stabilization exercise is a solid, evidence-based treatment and quite effective. Also recommemd Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff for both laypeople and medical folk alike- strengthening the rotator cuff does for the shoulder what strengthening the multifidus does for the spine.
great book for lower back problems January 20, 2007
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
this book, although a little technical, shows what happens in injured lower backs and then proceeds to describe a proven strategy to heal lower backs. I was amazed at the information presented in this book... I thought I knew everything there is to know about backs, having been an athlete all my life and having been a somatic therapist & Yoga teacher for the past 20 years. Well I learned a lot more and I even applied the material to my own back with great results with very little work... I also feel a lot more confident about teaching my clients how to take care of their backs...
