5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for everybody that has patients with LBP!, October 17, 1999
By A Customer
For the first time in the (para)medical science-history of Low Back Pain, a book is written that is based on scientific evidence. The list of References includes no less then 47 articles, scientific papers and books. And more important even than that: McKenzie opens up a total new chapter on the causes of the so-called (until now!) 'non-specific' LBP, which to the reader is not at all 'non-specific' anymore once you've read (and maybe re-read) this book! "The Lumbar Spine" taught me things I never learned in college (PT and MT) and that are still not taught in general, unfortunately: specific disc behaviour: the mechanical principles that damage the disc and make it to heal (or to not heal!), and how these principles cause LBP, even long before discs are herniated. One superb evidence-based book, especially since it describes a low-cost therapy! And: this book explains why manipulative therapy (MT) often does not give the results we had hoped for. All physiotherapists, chiropracters, osteopaths, general practitioners and neuro- and orthopedic surgeons: this book will almost certain be the basis for the future treatment of 'non-specific' LBP. If there's one book you want to have read, this is it!

4.0 out of 5 stars McKenzie Textbook Review, June 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Lumbar spine mechanical diagnosis as described, classic textbook, every manual therapist should have one on the shelf. A bit outdated, but an easy to read textbook with much insight.
