Rating: Summary: Great book! A must for anyone with continual back problems Review: I've had a range of injuries from activities in my youth, but the most constant has been a tension in my lower back. It's been there for years. When the tension becomes pain, it stops me in my tracks.Dr. Sinel doesn't provide a magic solution. It takes discipline. But when you've given hours of effort to other solutions that don't work, you welcome one that does. I strongly recommend taking his advice. I just bought two more copies to give to friends.

Rating: Summary: Fabulous...I no longer suffer from back pain! Review: Thanks to this book I am cured. I no longer suffer from the pain that has dictated my physical activities for years. THANK YOU!
Rating: Summary: great book, easy to understand Review: This book is laying on the floor next to my bed. Why? I do the exercises every morning, and refer to the chapter to make sure I don't miss any. I do most of the exercises on the floor, so that's where the book lives. It is a part of my life now. I've suffered from low-grade back pain for years, and learned a lot from this book. I especially like the integrated mind-body approach, the solid, realistic information about the mechanics of the spine, and the practical advice for care and recovery. I've spoken with a chiropractor and an MD about my back problems, and the advice they gave me is identical to the advice in this book -- and the book was far less expensive. Unless you were injured, your back took years to get into its current condition, and it will take a while to improve. This book is a first-rate map of the road to recovery.
