This review is from: A Healthy Back: A Sports Medicine Doctor's Back-Care Program for Everybody (Paperback)

Plain and simple--when I do the exercises consistently several times a week, I stay free from back pain. When I slough off, the back pain returns within a week or two. This book was recommended by both my medical doctor and chiropractor, and it worked very well for my chronic low back pain.
