Customer Reviews

do not wast your cash1
i ordered this "book" and received a small booklet, 20 pages looks like it would be free from doctors surgrey ! The information contained in this booklet could have been said on the first page, there are no exercises, the whole booklet was about relaxing and not worrying. I found this leaflet a complete waste of money.

Do not purchase this booklet1
I ordered this "book" and received a small booklet, 20 pages long which looks like it has come free from Tesco ! The information contained in this booklet could have been said on the first page, there are no exercises, the whole booklet was about relaxing and not worrying. I found this leaflet a complete waste of money.

A starting point for all sufferers from back pain5
The first time you get severe back pain will be disconcerting and probably frightening. I read this book as one who has suffered back pain occasionally and with varying severity for more than 15 years. I have had a lot of good advice and some not so good over that period, and have learned the difference the hard way.
This small book, just 21 pages, is written in a very straightforward, clear style by a team of 5 experts from a range of medical disciplines and oozes authority.
It's an excellent, simple reference book that will reassure the sufferer and give them confidence when discussing their problem and their needs with doctors and other health professionals, work colleagues and bosses, and well-meaning friends and neighbours.
