Treat Your Own Back by Robin A McKenzie (1997, Paperback)

I have been in and out of physical therapy for my back for many years now. I suffer from chronic low back pain and early arthritis. I worked for a physical therapy company for several years and would see one of my friends who was a physical therapist for treatment of my back pain. She explained that everything I need to know to treat my own back was in this book! She was right...I purchased the book and have not needed physical therapy since! This book is a MUST have for chronic low back pain suffers.

Side note: I highly recommend seeing a doctor prior to starting home therapy for diagnosis. I had an MRI prior to starting my home treatment.

When I got the book it had water damage. Impossible to tell if it happened before or after attempted shipping. The book was in clearly poorer shaoe tan promised.

Just what I need to aid in making a determination whether shots and/or surgery is required. Results will not be known for several weeks, therefore a review at this time is useless. There should be a review of such requirements as these to test for validity. So all I wind up doing is babbling after I made the only pertinent statement that could be made at the beginning of this paragraph.

No surprises, arrived in a acceptable timeframe. condition was new and object was properly packaged.

This book truly saved me from 11 years of back pain. I suffered weeks at a time and had to have my wife put my shoes and socks on for me when it got too bad.

Three days of the Standing extension exercise and I'm 90% pain free.

Incredible.

I first became familiar with this book through a friend who had lower back pain and then received my own copy when I went to physical therapy. This book explains very well what is generally happening when you have lower back pain, most likely due to a bulging disc resulting in the pain & possible sciatia. For me, the road to getting well starts with understanding what's happening and this book got that across for me AND provided many tips and tricks and exercises that have kept my back in good health for 10 yrs. I have never had to go back to P.T. When I feel a problem coming on in my back I ice, start my aleve and start the exercises in this book and keep them up for a few weeks. Of course before starting anything you should ck with your Dr. and in my case I had an MRI before starting Physical Therapy. I loan this book to EVERYONE I know with lower back pain.

The exercises in this book helped my husband tremendously when all else failed.
We also found out that Neurologists and Physical Therapists use this book and these exercises for patients with back problems.

The book is in great condition and the price was reasonable. The book jacket looks new and there were no bent pages, marks or show of wear and tear. Overall it was a good deal.

enjoyable book to read. really helps in relieving back pain. This book explains many different excercises to help aid in relief of back pain. I have thouroughly enjoyed this book. It was well worth the money that it cost me.

Great book! It was very informative in describing how to do the exercises and the exercises worked. The book has helped me stay out of pain. I would definitely recommend this book.

Treat your own back is a great book & I highly recommend it to any one with back problems. The book was in good condition when I recived it. Great way to shop for books.

The book was in great shape and was the cheapest book I could find. The delivery was very fast. Thanks for your help.
