The Spine is the roof of all motion ?Qigong Exercises can help eliminate back pain. This expanded second edition includes Qigong exercises that can restore the health of the spine. Some of the exercises are designed to heal a condition, others to help rebuild the strength of the joints, still others to help keep the back healthy and prevent further problems from developing and expedite your body?s natural healing abilities. The exercises are simple to learn, enjoyable to practice, and can be performed sitting or standing. Ten exercises for both standing and sitting and 23 massage techniques to do alone or with a partner. Young or old, sedentary or athletic; it is likely that you will experience some sort of back pain injury in your lifetime. Since the spine is the root of all motion, a healthy back is vital to well-being. Although Western Medicine has made great progress in treating spinal illnesses and lower back pain; it has only limited success in actually healing it. Chinese Medicine, over the last four thousand years, has developed many of its own methods to treat spine problems, including Qigong exercises, acupuncture, massage, and herbal treatments. By doing Qigong exercises, you can effectively treat many cases of spinal illnesses and rebuild the strength of your torso which is the root of complete healing.

A user-friendly guide to using Qigong,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Pain Relief: Chinese Qigong for Healing and Prevention (Paperback)
Now in a revised second edition, Back Pain Relief is a user-friendly guide to using Qigong, an alternative medicinal treatments originating in China, to help with chronic back pain. Definitions, diagrams, Qigong exercises and philosophy explained in-depth, and much more fill this practical guide. Author Yang, Jwing-Ming Ph.D. is a skilled martial arts and Qigong teacher of over thirty-five years' experience, and his wisdom shows through in plain terms readily accessible to the lay reader. Back Pain Relief is very highly recommended reading, especially for anyone who has run up against the limits of traditional Western medicine in an attempt to cope with recurring back pain.

This review is from: Back Pain Relief: Chinese Qigong for Healing and Prevention (Paperback)
If any reader had purchased or read any of Yang's other books on qigong, they would have easily extracted the very same information without having to read through this vapid rehashed material presented as possibly something new in the treatment of back illnesses and injuries. Yang does have over 30 schools around the world with thousands of loyal students who love show support for him by highly-rating his works whether the work is worthy or not. Buyer beware or ratings.
