As a Librarian who selects books for a living, I saw this book, and had to give an Amazon review on it! This is a simple to follow and well illustrated manual for those with back problems, male or female. The positions given are creative and truly helpful. My only wish was that it also had a section on people with Sciatic nerve problems, as well. I haven't found any book that is better than this one... it will really help people.

This is a useful and informative book, written by a highly regarded and respected physical therapist. We have multiple copies of this book in our clinic, and I recommend it to our patients whenever appropriate. The feedback I have received from our patients has been very positive.

Not a lot of content here- big type, lots of repetition. Says in about 100 ways that back pain may limit your sexual activity and don't feel guilty about it. Duh! There is some practical advice on positions and techniques, but mostly stuff you'd figure out yourself through trial and error. Some good content on what can cause back pain.

This was the perfect book for our patients in Rehab. Materials you don't find in a regular medical book.

The tastefully presented sex-specific content is actually just a small part of this book. Of equal or greater importance is a whole lot of information on recognizing and dealing with the wide variety of impacts that a sore back has on all aspects of life.

There is considerable content devoted to regaining optimism in the face of an incredibly discouraging and debilitating period, and to making your body stronger and better equipped to heal itself.

This isn't some fluff-filled thinly disguised marketing effort to sell you a magic machine or pill. Instead, it is a wonderfully helpful and sensible guide to learning to cope with a dysfunctional back, and to doing things that will help it heal. Very helpful for partners/spouses of back pain sufferers, too- particularly to gain some insight into what the sufferer is going through.

Really an excellent book. Many thanks to the author for so much good, down-to-earth advice and much-needed encouragement.

Buy two copies, one for yourself and one for a friend who has back problems.
