I was very pleased with the speed with which my book arrived. The book itself "Used- Like New" as stated,but was not what I was looking for. I need a book geared toward scoliosis and this book only had a few stretches for that.Not seller's fault. I should have done a search for SCOLIOSIS

This book helped me through some rough times as I overcame an injured back. I was not an experienced yoga person, but this book introduced me to the process and sped me on my way to a happier back. I needed gentle, and this book was there. As I started to get better, this book was there, and as I move on this book still helps me. I use it as often as I use my bird identification books and my plant books. It makes a good reference to go back to when I need to refresh my memory or add a new exercise or stretch. It will always be on my bookshelf, no matter its age.

I have been giving this book as a gift since I became aware, through practice, of its body wisdom. I have severe back problems (scoliosis)and physicians are amazed that I am not in a wheelchair. This book, together with "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" have been essential educational tools in body awareness and ways to help myself.

Customer Rating: 

This book easily explains why we have back pain and how to relieve it. She also explains how to overcome stress and gives so many exercises and relaxation techniques. It would recommend it to anyone, even those without significant back pain because she teaches how badly we treat our backs on a daily basis.

I found this to be a realistic guide for me-someone with 25+ years of neck and back pain. I have had multiple medical testing to identify the problems, and I always get the same 2 options: 1)surgery or 2)pain medication and "let it heal on it's own". With a herniated lumbar disc, several bulging lumbar and cervical discs, degenerative disc disease and arthritis, some people ask how I can keep at least a fair quality of life (I still work full-time). Although very skeptical at first, I have found that pilates and yoga techniques have strengthened my muscles and "inner core", as long as I proceed with caution and heed the advice of my doctor.
I have also learned the hard way how important it is to stay active-laying in bed long-term only makes pain and rehab worse in the long run. This book is a good tool!
