From the Inside Flap
HAVE AN IDEA ON US…
Use pillows creatively in bed to stop yourself rolling over if an inadvertent movement is agony. Line them up against you back whilst lying on your side so they wedge you in position. A pillow placed under your bent knees may help to keep you in a position that suits your back, especially if pain radiates down one of your legs. Or lie on your back with two pillows rolled within a towel placed under your knees.

This book wasn't quite what I expected. It contained mostly common-sense ideas, but not much in the way of exercise or pain relief. A bit disappointing.

Helped a lot with the psychology and reading it took mind off the pain. Nice feel to the presentation and paper used was really smooth

I like this book, it is lengthy but worth the read from front to back pack with useful information on how to take care of you back and prevent long time problems. It was a reminder of how you should interact with life activities and protection your back in the process. The author has a great sense of humor to keep you intact with the content of his writing.
