It's not a bad little book, but the first part is spent telling you how the back works, the second part talks about diet, obesity, and surgery for back pain - it and goes on for pages about giving up smoking, all relevant contributors in a book about changing your life to allieviate back pain, and I'm sure very useful in addressing the problem but I bought this specifically because it said it was *EXERCISES*
Exercises are only part of this already small book. It would be very useful to someone who knows little about health, fitness, exercise and and the like, but as a dance teacher studying a sports coaching course to work alongside my health life coaching its got a lot of superfluous stuff which to me is a an irrelevant use of space, fine mention it but not too much (smoking runs from p36 to p39).
I was after just a book of exercise which I can suggest or offer to those with back pain, and these are here I suppose, but there is so much else it's just annoying. Re-reading it they are at least sectioned off well so I might slice the book in half and then i'll have the book i was after. :)
So if you need a simple set of all kinds of suggestions as to how to set up your work station ergonomically, different places you can go for dietary advice, all sorts of stuff about smoking ceasation support as well as a back exercises then this is a life saving little bargain at well under a fiver.
and since they do talk about aerobics, walking, running and jogging programmes, swimming, as well as exercises to support all different areas relating to spinal health it is quite handy and probably has almost everything you could want, apart from maybe a couple of stretches to compliment the rest of the range of stuff included.

This book has really helped me understand my problem and what I need to do to improve my back and manage the pain. It's a small book that I carry around every time my back is playing up and has helped in many situations.
Go for it if, like me, you don't know where to start and need a bit of guidance!
