Summary: A great starting point and more
Review: This is one of the best Pilates books I own. I use this book as a reference to look up and research things. The first 3 chapters deal with posture injuries and overview.chapters 4 and 5 are dedicated to stretching and safe movement.chapter 6 is a short primer on lower back pain.chapters 7,8 and 9 are beginner,intermediate and advanced routines.chapter 10 is more advanced and 11 is theraband routines.chapter 12 is move yourself out of pain.
The down side is the large scope of the book.Not what I would call an easy read.Black and white pictures only.
The only other book that looks close is Anatomy of Pilates by Physical Mind.I hope to get this one soon.
I also own The Pilates body by Siler and a couple others.
