Product Description

Back Care Basics offers the low-cost solution for back care in the new millenium: therapeutic yoga. Dr. Schatz's approach to back rehabilitation is gentle, effective, and without drugs or surgery. Her program encourages both positive health practices and a positive outlook; the important tools needed for prevention and healing. Dr. Schatz has designed this program to help those with pain from chronic musculoskeletal back and neck strain, spinal arthritis, osteoporosis, premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, and scoliosis. Simple and practical ways to heal the back, restructure the body, and cope with stress are taught so that one becomes more sensitive to early warning signs of an impending "back attack" and what to do to ward it off.

This book has made me virtually pain-free! 26 Aug 2001

By Ivan Lietaert

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.

Recover from disc problems and gain awareness of your body 10 July 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

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.

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

Remember that a stretch must be held fifteen to twenty seconds in order for the muscle to get the message to relax and lengthen. &quote;

Your mental concepts of who you are and what you look like are translated into the way you carry your body. If you keep the same self-image as you had when your back pain began, these exercises will be of limited value. &quote;

the basic rule is that as you inhale, you do nothing except focus on your posture while relaxing the muscles of the face, jaw, and shoulders. With the exhalation, perform the action of the pose. &quote;
