80 per cent of adults in the UK will experience some type of back pain. Now there's hope - and help - for everyone with back pain. In The Back Pain Book, physical therapist Mike Hage shows you how to take control of your back problems through self-treatment. Instead of addressing specific medical diagnoses, medications, surgery, or nutritional adjustments, Hage gives advice on how to use posture and movement to ease, relieve, and prevent your pain.

Customer Reviews
This is a really good, easy to understand book.
Wow. I can't believe how easy this book was to read and follow. The illustrations make it simple to be sure you're doing the exercises the right way, which is so important when you're dealing with back and/or neck pain. The text covers immediate pain relief, good moves/bad moves for everyday activities, and strategic exercises for long term improvement. The really great thing about this book is that is was written by a Physical Therapist with real hands on experience in working with people with back problems, so you know the recommendations and exercise program are sound. My only regret is that it doesn't have a companion video, which would be neat; and my only complaint is that the book does not lay flat when you want to keep it open to a particular page while you do the exercises. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!
