Very Usefull! July 12, 2010
J. Fairbairn
We love this book! It's helped us out more than once with back pain.
Thank you!
Thank you Dr., this changed my life December 30, 2009
B. J. Howe (Nanaimo, B.C., Candada)
Quite simply this book has dramatically changed my life for the better. I thought I knew it all so it took me 15 years to actually buy a book about back pain.
There is lots and lots of very helpful advice. The things that made the most difference for me were Deep Relaxation, jogging to get glute muscles, and proper hamstring stretching.
My back is better than it has been in years and my fear is much lower. I learned a lot about my cycles of fear and stress and how that made things worse for me. When my back went out on me a few months ago, just before i bought this book, I basically hit rock bottom mentally. Due to what I have learned, even if my back goes out on me again, it will never be that bad because I have taken control of my emotions. This book filled me with hope and my belief in it has truly helped me.
Lastly, I believe that this book could only be written by someone who had gone through it himself. To the Dr. in case he ever reads this, thank you so much for writing this book.
Saved my life December 13, 2009
Dave Gillett (Atlanta, GA)
I was suffering from years of lower back pain. My solution was self medication and rest whenever the pain was too severe to do anything else. Surgery was an option that I was finally seriously considering.
And then my daughter-in-law sent me this book. She said her boss though it was the best book he had ever read on helping people suffering from back pain. Obviously I was very motivated to read it because my pain had lead to a very depressing existence.
It was very refreshing to learn that the author was not just a doctor prescribing his/her remedy. This "story" was by someone who was suffering very much like me. The difference was that he had resources to investigate the actual cause of his problem, medically and mentally and the skills to write about it.
The first half of the book tells his story and what he learned. There are many great anatomical (spelling?) images that made it much more clear what was happening and which muscles influenced that area.
The story and information is so accurate that it would have been stupid to not attempt his methods. It is much like yoga (not that I have any experience) but I can now say that 4 years later, after lots of hard work, I've only had one recurrence of minor back spasms. It requires daily work to make sure I stay stretched and strong in certain areas but NO MORE BACK PAIN.
Sorry for the poor grammar but this book was so helpful I had to write a review.
Practical solution November 2, 2009
I. Tremback (Australia)
Excellent book. Just what I needed. The author is a doctor and past back pain sufferer so he is very qualified to write on this subject. The book is very practical.It is a true self help book. I used it in conjunction with weekly physiotherapy ( after seeing a doctor) over a 4 week period to reduce my sciatic pain and difficulty in walking. I could hardly sit. The pain woke me up several times a night. Not any more. It may take me weeks or a month or more to get back to normal. If you follow the wise and compassionate advice in this book -physical emotional nutritional spiritual- and listen, really listen, to your body -all on a daily basis and also seek medical help to diagnose the problem, I believe you stand a good chance of a cure. Small regular progress and patience and trust over weeks or months may be all that is needed to heal this marvellous machine that is our body.
HEALING BACK PAIN NATURALLY October 21, 2009
old gray man with bad back (indiana)
Outstanding, very helpful and lacking in the hubris of certain other health gurus. This is an easy read and a workable program of exercise that leads up to ( in my case ) a better quality of life without scars on my back.
