"An invaluable resource, this book helps sort through the maze of traditional medical and alternative therapies available, in a comprehensive yet easily accessible way." ----Karen Ting, MD, Minor & James Medical, Seattle
"This little book has great information covering all aspects of back health. It covers everything from exercises for back pain prevention and recovery to the latest research on medical intervention for back pain. It also covers many different alternative therapies. I would recommend it to everyone, even if you don't have back pain yet." ---- Nan, Seattle, WA.
"This compact book should be read by everyone who is active in the outdoors in any way, not only those who have specific concerns about their back. It starts by laying a clear foundation of how our backs are constructed, how we move and basic knowledge of the parts that frequently give people problems. The explanations and diagrams were easy to understand for the common person. I was especially happy with the chapter that went over the mind-body connection as someone who is currently dealing with a back injury and a lot of stress.
This book was able to suggest exercises as preventative medicine as well as helpful recovery, certain techniques that can help besides going to the chiropractor and even how a certain diet can help to keep inflammation down. This book is structured in an easy way and is a great handbook for anyone who has an active lifestyle - or anyone who isn't an invertebrate for that matter. And I especially recommend it for those that are currently suffering from back pain as it will point you in the right direction to recovery." -----Naomi M. Judd, Spokane, WA.
