5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever written about back and join pain, 2 Oct 2001
This book will definitely change your opinion about your self and the cause of your joint pains. On the basis that stress causes a worst negative impact in our bodies as we self-think and not the backbone itself. As I start to read this book I could only nod with my head at the beginning of almost every paragraph. This book is also an example how positive thinking (such an expression in fashion nowadays) really can improve your health and not only your life. And how to think that there "must be" something wrong with your back actually is a mirror of your mind more as the problem itself.

The most astonishing revelation for me in the book is the fact of an study made in hundreds of people with and without pack pain, revealing that the state of the spine on many people without back pain was in fact "worst" that the spine of people with back pain with the difference that people without pack pain have a different approach to stress situations and themselves as the people with back pain. Amazing!!

I have visited all kind doctors, physios, Chiropracts, Osteophats, Physical therapists, Massage Therapists, practice yoga and Pilates and all you can imagine. Make yourself a favor and buy this book. I'm so impressed with it, that I speak with everybody about it. Since I have been suffering of chronic back pain for 15 years I see this book as the real solution.

Good luck

5.0 out of 5 stars A Scientific Breakthrough for Chronic Back Pain Sufferers, 7 Aug 2001
By A Customer
At last! Back Sense is the first book, available to the public, that a person with chronic back pain could pick up and use to cure themselves.

Back Sense gives a logical, reasonable and alternative view of how back pain problems develop, what maintains them, and how an individual can break the fear/anxiety cycle that creates so much tension and suffering.

Back Sense brings radical new developments in back pain treatment to a general audience in a user-friendly format.

This book will help people to discover for themselves the way to break the cycle of chronic back pain.

Back Sense integrates the newest finding in the medical literature with up to date and comprehensive psychological treatment methods.

It has long been maintained that when humans assumed our upright posture, our backs became prone to pain problems. The good news contained in Back Sense is that we also possess the ability to reverse the process that turns it into a chronic problem.

1.0 out of 5 stars Back sense or not?, 2 Aug 2003
This book concentrates very much upon the psychological aspects of back pain. It seems to suggest that most chronic back pain is caused by stress, negative emotions and thoughts, along with tense back muscles. It then considers how this emotional and physical state further enhances back pain.

Much of the first part of the book tries to convince you that your back pain is related to your emotional state. In my opinion, it doesn't pay enough attention to the possibility that your back pain could be caused by an actual physical injury or condition.

The book has limited practical advice about back care, posture, excercise, pain control and the like; although it does have a section towards the end of the book which details physical training for flexibility and strength, and I found this far more useful than the contents of the book which had gone before.

The book has obviously worked for many people and it gives examples of this within. It also makes reference to literature which supports it's approach.

I am sure that some people will find this book useful, although in my case it's usefulness was limited to the physical aspects rather than to the psychological.
