The only pointer I got from this book was that posture and breathing are very important in correcting back and neck problems. These facts reinforced facts already known. Better exercises can be found elsewhere.
 The Pilates Prescription for Back Pain June 2, 2005

This is a super book. It communicates well and is very effective. I have had chronic back, hip and feet pain for many years. This book is teaching me how to use my body correctly, which is something I don't think most people realize they don't know how to do - I sure didn't, even though I have been through yoga and dance training. The book is not glamorous and not for coffee table reading. It's more the book you can throw into your suitcase or backpack and take with. It's a book for USE and it WORKS. I feel physically better than in many years, my hips and back and feet are improving daily. This is more or less an operating manual for the body's structure. Thank you so much to the authors for making this information available in an easily assimilatable form. :-)

Three Pilates experts and teachers combine their knowledge in The Pilates Prescription For Back Pain: A Comprehensive Program For Developing And Maintaining A Healthy Back, a no-nonsense health guide featuring Pilates exercises and routines chosen especially to help prevent back problems. Black-and-white photographs and diagrams as well as simple instructions offer the reader a crystal clear, easy-to-follow regimen. The exercises presented are not unduly advanced or difficult; any able-bodied individual can perform them at safely at home. Sample workouts comprised of various exercises for different days offers a starting point for planning one's own routines, and additional sections offer advice for avoiding undue stress on one's back and body while sitting at work, gardening, sleeping, or engaging in sexual activity. Highly recommended.
