Format:Paperback
Aged 32, I would wake up a broken man every morning, due to musscle tension in the the upper back and neck. Also, I would suffer from debilitating headache from time to time. This book taught me simple and safe stretching techniques. I'm now virtually painfree if I do my daily exercises... I'd recommend an other title for those who are desperate: Yoga, the paht to holistic health, by BKS Iyengar. This man was Dr. Schatz's yoga-teacher, and this book in particular is a must have.

This book helped has helped me to recover from a debilitating disc rupture. It taught me exercises to do even when I was stuck in bed. The book gently teaches stretchs and strengthening exercises and has cautions and warnings for all kinds of back problems. It also had helpful information for dealing with the reality of life with an injured back, including relapses and how to cope physically and emotionally. Highly recommended. I have better posture and the essential body awareness needed by us back pained people.

This book has great information about how to take care of your back. I am a massage therapist/ health educator and I am constantly using this book to refer my clients to it's content about caring for their backs. Back care is something we all need to learn about for a healthier, more comfortable life. As a health educator, I highly recomend this book. Mahalo.

Does what it says on the cover
The key word for me in the title was 'gentle' as I've found in the past that many Yoga and Pilates stretches have only served to make my back and neck problems worse. Read more
