Book Reviews of Treat Your Own Back
Book Review: Generalized title problem. But good
Summary: 4 Stars
While this may teach truly excellent practices and have solutions, BE FOREWARNED; this book basically focuses on the LOWER back. Exercises are for the LOWER back. There is mention about how to position one's neck with pillows and such. But if you have troubles with your middle back, then..... well...
This book could be titled, "How to Treat Your LOWER Back". Practical, multi-edition book for LOWER back.
Book Review: A-freaking-MAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent hundreds over the last year at a Naprapath (who was really good) after being diagnosed with a bulging disk. But, even he didn't fix me like the 3-step "Emergency" exercise in this book! That's the only exercise I do daily in this book .... and I've been PAIN-FREE since I did that exercise the FIRST time! It's been 1-1/2 months! And all it cost me was 12 bucks. Who knew?! This doc rocques!!! :)Book Review: Treat Your Own Back
Summary: 5 Stars
I was previously familiar with the McKenzie exercises from going to physical therapy. However, this is the first time I really went to the source to read up on the techniques. If you do the exercises faithfully (initially every two hours) you will achieve results and be able to manage your low back issues. Highly recommended if you wish to self-manage any back issues. His neck book is quite good as well.Book Review: Read every page very carefully
Summary: 2 Stars
I would strongly suggest that you read this book very carfeully because I didnt and did exercises that I shouldnt have (if I had read it correctly I would have realised that). Boy did I suffer! So now I am very nervous about taking any of the advice in the book.
On the other hand I also bought Treat Your Own Neck by the same author and its absolutely excellent. It really has kept me pain free.
Book Review: The best!
Summary: 5 Stars
The McKenzie exercises are considered the "way-to-go" for both recovering from back problems and for life-long maintenance. Also, as long as your pain is not too severe, these exercises will save most people who suffer from lower back problems from going under the surgeon's knife. It seems that today, most knowledgeable physicians recommend this book for patients with chronic back problems.
