Book Reviews of Treat Your Own Back
Book Review: straight forward approach to simple back pain
Summary: 5 Stars
This books does exactly what is says it does, help you treat a sore back quickly and effectively, its laso clear on serious conditions it will not address and how to tell which you have. Between lots of road bike riding(30-100) miles at a time, gardening, moving and the other vagaries of life at 51 my back always has had something to say. The basic approach involves attention to posture, stretching and conditioning and when each is appropriate. This book has enabled me to send my back to the minor occasional issue category and not the major show stopper it was becoming. I would highly recommend it.Book Review: If I had bought this earlier, it could have saved me $$$ in physio
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a perfect solution to my personal back problem (your results may vary). After consulting two physiotherapists, I had received similar advice to what is contained in this book. HOWEVER neither physio had explained the exercises in the detailed way in which this book does. As a result of doing the exercises incorrectly, and taking too many OTC pain killers, I had made my back problem much worse.
Two weeks after I received this book, I was on my way to recovery, and I've been pain-free for weeks now. Thank you very much for this wonderful, easy to read guide.
Book Review: Buy it if you have a bad back
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, it works. I've always used the old abdominal exercises when my back pained me. I still think they should be done after you relieve the pain which this does much faster. I have DDD & from time to time my back acts up for a reason or for no reason at all & this takes away the pain faster. Now if I just had the disclipine to do my back strengthing exercises when it didn't hurt I could likely avoid a re-ocurance. Buy it, follow the instructions & when the pain is gone try & follow a back strengthening program for life, yes Virginia, for life or you'll be using this book again.Book Review: Relief, At Last
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book on a friends recommendation, after suffering for 2 weeks with a pinched nerve in my lower back. What a blessing! Applying the methods and easy exercises and stretches, eased the pain almost immediately. After 35 years of being a carpenter, I thought the back pain was just something I would have to live with. NOT TRUE! Following the recommendations in this book will not only relieve the aches and pains, but help to prevent future back injuries. My back has never felt better. I highly recommend this book to anyone with back problems.Book Review: Great concise info on helping with back issues
Summary: 5 Stars
My reason for ordering this book was to help treat a nagging lower back issues from heavy lifting. Once the weight gets to your body's limits there is a lot of tension put on your lower back, so you will have tightness. Using the techniques in the book, I've been able to eliminate most tightness from proper warm up, more rapidly recover from tightness, and increase my lifts due to better mobility. Great back, even if you don't have back issues I think people should take the hr to read this helpful book.
