True to its title!!! February 10, 2010

I suffered with 2 herniated disks in my neck for years from an injury that started when I was a teen ager. It was cronic (pain/suffering) after I crushed my neck on an overhead wooden beam. I was told by a Chiropractor, after 5 years of 'maintenance', that I should have surgery and never pick up anything over 10 lbs!! This was not an option nor practical for me! Then I read this book. The exercises have not only reversed my injury, but kept me from future problems! They are easy to learn, simple to do and not at all time consuming. I not only can carry groceries and laundry baskets, but I can move furniture and shovel the driveway (my 10 lb. dog loves it, too)! I fell accidently up a flight of stairs, landed on my hands and felt the impact go straight up to my neck/shoulders. I thought to myself, 'That's it! I will have the worst pain (in the neck) or terrible headache tomorrow!' The next day came and nothing!!! This is such a simple book to follow and has definitely lived up to what it says on the subtitle: A proven program for RECOVERY and Prevention! Enjoy getting well!!!!
You Can Relieve Neck Pain and Headaches without Drugs and Injections! February 10, 2010

There is hope! I began reading Lisa's book at the same time I saw a spinal specialist for severe neck pain. The specialist offered me medications and injections (with considerable risks and side effects) and confirmed I did not have a condition that would prohibit exercise. It turns out that working at a computer all day, my posture had detriorated and aggravated the bulging discs in my neck causing months severe of pain and triggering migraines.
Instead of taking him up on those treatments which would continue indefinately and only be temporary, I began reading this book and following directions to correct my posture and the exercises. In just one week, I experienced considerable relief, and I am now, weeks later, I am having fewer migraines, back to a full exercise routine and sleeping through the night without pain. I'm also enjoying improved posture and have lost a couple pounds. Lisa's book contains excellent explanations about your anatomy that are easy to understand and will help you avoid pain. I now feel hopeful that I can control and prevent my pain.
Common Sense Tips That Really Work February 10, 2010

Lisa's book is a must-read for anyone who has ever experienced back or neck pain - which I think is most of us! She provides common-sense tips that really work. She takes the reader through step-by-step instructions, with clear detail and great illustrations. Lisa is obviously extremely knowledgable on this subject but breaks it down so that a lay person can understand it. Great book!
A Practical Approach for Healing February 10, 2010

A strong point in Lisa Morrone's book is her very practical approach--complete with photos!--to show exactly how to position and move the body for maximum benefit.
Another strength is Lisa's expertise. As an experienced therapist, she doesn't dispense armchair advice; she shares what has helped her patients!
Lastly--and to me, most importantly--Lisa goes beyond the physical element and includes the imporance of healing the whole person, including the spiritual element. I love that she not only recognizes the importance of the wholistic approach, but that she presents it in such a personable way.
After you read this book, you'll feel like you've made a new friend in Lisa, learned more about how the body parts (and spirit!) work together, and experience healing if you apply the information.
 A great overview September 28, 2009

I bought this book in an effort to better understand why I was repeatedly injuring my back. The author does an excellent job illustrating how we injure our backs and necks, which muscles we need to strengthen and what exercises we can do to get stronger. I like the clear simplicity of the book and the photos of the right and wrong ways to sleep, move, lift, etc. I would highly recommend it to a fellow back sufferer.
