Book Reviews of Treat Your Own Back
Book Review: Helpful
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the recommendations in this book were not enough to fix my sciatica, they are sound and helpful for many people, according to my physical therapist.Book Review: Helpful....
Summary: 4 Stars
Whilst most of the stretches in the book are not new, and most have seen them before, the sequence seems to be key. This definately made my back 75% better, and probably would have done more if I have stuck to the exercises. I definately recommend this. A couple of criticism, the book is written very basically, however, it is organised so badly that as you read it, it starts off on certain exercises and then later on in the book tells you to only do them after you have done those exercises later in the book. It does not tell you this in the beginning so you can end up hurting yourself more in the short run. Even if you read the entire book first, it is very nebulous as to where several of the exercises fit in.
Other than that, highly recommended!...
Book Review: How to fix your back and keep it right.
Summary: 5 Stars
The old edition of this book was given to me by a physiotherapist 35 years ago when I had small children and had lower back pain. I have used it and have given it away many times over the years. It shows how to correct lower back problems due to strain and how to maintain a strong back to prevent pain. This new edition explains more and is very very good. Because of this book I have never needed to visit a chiropractor or any doctor for my back.Book Review: How to treat your own back

Summary: 5 Stars
I too, had referrals from physical therapists to read and follow the instructions of the two books: Treat your own back and neck by Robin Makinzie. I may have spelled his name wrong, but his techniques are perfect. I am telling everyone about this book and have almost stopped taking ibuprofen. After 14 years in emergency services, I couldn't be in any position without pain and I was losing circulation in my hands. My doctor found that my pulse was disappearing in my wrists so he sent me to a physical therapist. I felt better after two days and after two weeks acutally realized that I had gone a whole day without pain. I cried. I had forgotten what it was like to not have pain in my neck, shoulders, and back. I have real things wrong found by the MRI and had been told by one ortho. surgeon to suck it up, this is how will be from now on. I was 38. Another ortho surgeon sent me to this wonderful PT and his first exercise assignment for me was to read these books. I am now buying them for family and friends. I agree with "so good I'm mad." Thankfully, I do know of one very good ortho who still cares rather than cuts and does what he can to help. I hope anyone who reads this will immediatley buy these books. You will not regret it. If one exercise hurts, he has another that won't. Stick with it and in a couple weeks if not sooner, you will be amazed.
