Bad Back Book

Summary: The BEST Bad Back Book!
Review: I was down for three weeks with back spasms in 1965 and was treated by a good friend, a highly respected orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, he did not understand the mechanics of the back and I got better in spite of his treatment. I later got good advice from a diagnostic orthopedic doctor, who did understand the mechanics of the back and instructed me on how to deal with it. A friend gave me a copy of this book and I was a total skeptic before reading it and trying the exercises. It works and I have given fifteen copies to others over the years. At age 72, it has helped me live the normal life I never expected. Thank you Jerry Wayne.

Summary: Only thing that helped my back.
Review: Recommended to me 20 years ago by head of Nuclear medicine at San Francisco General Hospital.

Could only stay up for short periods of time before. Now I have no problem and give it to friends who have back trouble.

Must do exercises religiously for long term, but immediate relief with relaxing exercises.

Summary: I tell my back-bothered friends about it.
Review: When I was sentenced, years ago, to two weeks bed rest for sciatica lower back pain, a neighbor lent me the book. I read the humorous real life story of tribulations with surgery, chiropractic, and accupuncture, then started doing the simple exercises in the book's appendix. What a great thing! Slow steady progress until I got back to enjoying tennis at full enthusiasm. I even use one or two of the exercises on a plane for ironing out the kinks from flying for a couple of hours. It has been wonderful for me!
