Product Description
Based on results from scientific research, this volume offers back pain sufferers a series of simple excercises that target muscles that have been identified as being a common source of back pain. Line illustrations accompany each exercise. Physical therapist Jim Johnson reviewed the double-blind back-pain studies published since 1987, and found that it suggested a specific set of muscles played a key role in the majority of back pain. It showed 90 per cent of back pain sufferers have underdeveloped multifidus muscles. If these muscles are weak, inflamed or in spasm, they can cause chronic back pain. In response to these findings he devised a simple set of exercises that focus on strengthening these muscles - and had good results with his patients. This book is the result.
From the Author
I have been in the trenches treating good people with bad backs for over a decade now. I do not in this book, however, offer my experiences or success stories. Rather I report to you in simple terms the information about an exciting new treatment for back pain which comes straight from an accumulation of much research done by the back pain community over recent years.
Over time, I have learned to rely heavily on the scientific back literature to guide my treatments of low back pain instead of doing something because it "seems to make sense," "I learned it in school" or "I tried it once and it worked."
The simple exercises described in this book, that anyone can do at home, have been supported by multiple, randomized controlled trials- the highest proof of efficacy in the scientific community that a treatment really works- unlike most treatments for back pain such as stretching, heat, massage, etc. I have seen far too many back pain patients struggling along using treatments that haven't a shred of evidence to them to report anything less to you.
I have intentionally made the book short so you can get the facts fast and get on with the treatment. Furthermore, I have set the book up so it is as if you are actually attending therapy- complete with a question and answer section of the most common questions I hear from patients practically every week in the hospital.
I think you will find that what you invest in "The Multifidus Backpain Solution" learning about an evidenced-based treatment for your back pain that you can readily use, will be time and and money well spent.
Jim Johnson, PT
