Great book! My husband has had back pain for over 20 years and he is religiously doing the exercises in the book and has gone from acute pain down to some soreness and the occasion pain when turning and bending wrong.Book Review: Back Treatment helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an injury at work and was referred to a chiropractor. He had this book in his office and after trying some of the suggested exercises/stretches my pain was much less and I was able to do more of my regular activities. Would recommend this book to anyone with low back painl.Book Review: Back in business
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent, easily read book by McKenzie. Understand your back problems and learn how to deal with them, effectively!Book Review: Bad Back Buy This Book
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband's back was continually 'going out' on him. Someone suggested this book. Since he has been doing the exercises recommended he rarely has any back complaints. The time it bothers him is when he isn't doing what the book says. We have bought several copies and given them to others and they have also felt relief. It's definitely worth reading.Book Review: Best $10 I've Spent In Awhile
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently hurt my back at the gym trying to deadlift a heavy load off the ground. Because of a couple errors on my part (not adequately warming up to the weight and not paying attention to form on one lift) I ended on the ground with severe back pain. It was crippling. It hurt to breathe. Not one for going to the doctor or loading up on pain killers I decided to see if there were any helpful books on treating back pain. Decided to spend $10 on this book and it was the best self-help purchase I've made.
I'm only on the second day of using the exercises prescribed and feel a noticeable difference in my back. I'm positive it has a lot to do with what this book reveals about back pain and relieving it through exercise. I'm also sure that my healing process would be going a lot slower if I hadn't started the exercises.
As for the author and the book: I enjoyed it because it was short and succinct. That's important for someone who is in pain! I don't agree with those that thought strength exercises should have been included in the book. You can find that information in other literature.
Like I said, best $10 self-help purchase I've ever made.
