Summary: I Don't Know About the Science, But It Worked For Me!
Review: I've had tension headaches developing out of neck pain on a regular basis ever since I was involved in an auto accident 6 years ago. I would take Advil by the handfuls every almost every day. I started a combination of 4 of the 7 neck exercises in the book and have decreased the Advil use by 95%. I still have stiffness in my neck from time to time, but it just doesn't go beyond that anymore. I had tried chiropractic care and injections, but this is the only thing that has worked. I really can't explain it.

Summary: It works, and that's the truth.
Review: My problems started in March. I had a sharp pain that lasted for two weeks and then a general ache that lasted several weeks. After two chiropractors, I went to a Sports Therapy Clinic, and they help resolve the initial problem using cold/heat, ultra-sound, TENS. By mid May I felt fine, and was back lifting weights, as I am a body builder.In September the ache returned, and I went back to the clinic. After several weeks of traditional therapy, the Orthpedic doctor prescribed massage therapy. The nurse practitioner immediately noticed I had a posture problem, but after a couple of weeks of therapy, I still had an ache. I stopped the therapy, and began reading several books on the problem. I purchased this book as a last chance, before exploring the possibility I needed surgery. I got the book on a Wednesday, and began doing the exercises over the following weekend. Now I had been doing all sorts of exercises for several months to no effect. This book proposed extension as compared to flexation exercises. I write this on a Monday. While I can't say I'm healed, I am significantly better. If you have lost hope, that you can get better, read this book before having surgery. I now believe that I may not need surgery at all, and may be able to resume my life.

Review: The tile sugest 7 steps so what could be so hard right? wrong you need a therapist or a doctor by your side to figure out the right positions not to hurt yourself! Save your money! I recommend instead a more up to date approach to back and neck pain from a doctor who has taught seminars thrughout the nation and now has written a book called the Backsmart Fitness Plan. by Dr. Adam Weiss, if you are unable to go to one of his seminars on your city then the next best thing is this book!

Summary: YUP, IT WORKS
Review: [October 2004]
In July 2004 I suffered an episode of absolutely incapacitating low-back pain that had me laid up flat on my back for 2 days, with VERY slowly abating symptoms for about 2 months following that.
Just when I thought I was finally getting better, I tweaked my back again in mid-September and was back to two days of bedrest/ice/etc.
Honestly, the hardest part of the experience was the thought of being trapped in this pain cycle for the rest of my life with nothing I could really do about it (I am 36).
I went to the chiropractor once to twice a week after the July episode for about 7 weeks and again after the September incident. Also went to a 'regular' back specialist.
Chiropractic treatment helped but barely stabilized the pain and fragility I was feeling.
After TWO DAYS of McKenzie my symptoms are GONE. I feel energized (mostly psychologically relieved) and much more positive. There is this wonderful feeling of being able to do something actively to help yourself get better.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
