5.0 out of 5 stars Only thing that helped my back., April 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Bad Back Book (Paperback)

Recommended to me 20 years ago by head of Nuclear medicine at San Francisco General Hospital.

Could only stay up for short periods of time before. Now I have no problem and give it to friends who have back trouble.

Must do exercises religiously for long term, but immediate relief with relaxing exercises.

I was down for three weeks with back spasms in 1965 and was treated by a good friend, a highly respected orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, he did not understand the mechanics of the back and I got better in spite of his treatment. I later got good advice from a diagnostic orthopedic doctor, who did understand the mechanics of the back and instructed me on how to deal with it. A friend gave me a copy of this book and I was a total skeptic before reading it and trying the exercises. It works and I have given fifteen copies to others over the years. At age 72, it has helped me live the normal life I never expected. Thank you Jerry Wayne.

5.0 out of 5 stars I tell my back-bothered friends about it., October 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bad Back Book (Paperback)

When I was sentenced, years ago, to two weeks bed rest for sciatica lower back pain, a neighbor lent me the book. I read the humorous real life story of tribulations with surgery, chiropractic, and accupuncture, then started doing the simple exercises in the book's appendix. What a great thing! Slow steady progress until I got back to enjoying tennis at full enthusiasm. I even use one or two of the exercises on a plane for ironing out the kinks from flying for a couple of hours. It has been wonderful for me!
