Insightful
Yoga maybe a popular art right now but is it for everyone?This book will explain in detail just how you the reader can use the poses to help your back? While I am a long term chronic back pain suffer, I found the movements rather easy to perform. Benefits, this book will explain why your back hurts, while your doctor may not agree, it has helped me understand the process of healing. Also recommend higly The Backsmart Fitness Plan By Dr. Adam Weiss- an execellent source for a complete full body workout and over 100 exercises and photos. Both books have helped me with my back pain.

Heal thyself !
My sciatic pain had been relieved to some degree by a chiropractor and my general practioner handed me one page of exercises and did not seem to want to deal with my back pain; "Lose weight and walk...have a nice day" It was then that I researched this book and purchased it.

This book is wonderful and has allowed me to assess what exercises I need to do and how to move, lift, and sit to avoid problems. I have read at least 20 books on back care and this is the ONE!! It is not for those who want a "quick read" as you must read several sections in order and then assess your personal condition. However, the results for me have been truly amazing in about 3 weeks time.
