I suffered from lower back pain for years, and nothing seemed to help. I got this book as a gift, and didn't read it right away, thinking "I don't have time". It wasn't until I became pregnant and realized that I would not be able to deal with the added stress on my back if I did not do something. I began the exercises, and almost immediately noticed an improvement in my back pain. I went through my whole pregnancy doing the stretches (the book gives modified stretches for really pregnant women), and rarely had any issues with my back, unless I skipped the stretches for a couple of days, and then I could notice the difference. The book gives several routines of varying difficulty, plus modified stretches for pregnant women. The routines generally took me about 20 minutes to do, so it is not a huge time commitment. I got into the habit of doing them daily, but the book also says you can do them every other day. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to control their back pain without drugs.

This is a very good book. I was having back trouble. My doctor said that I should see a back surgeon, and he warned me that she would probably recommend an operation. I went to several book stores and read every back book I could find. This one helped me the most. I do the exercizes every time that my back begins to bother me again. However, I never did have that back operation. Now I give the book to all my friends who have serious back pain.
