4.0 out of 5 stars Great source of information and help, August 19, 2002
In "Back Pain Solutions" author Bruce Kodish presents easy to follow techniques for helping with back pain problems. After a brief introduction into Posture-Movement Therapy he provides a section on how your back works, the physiology of the spine, discs, joints, etc. and how this relates to your posture, movement and back problems. Bruce Kodish covers everything that you need to understand in order to safely use the techniques on yourself.

For myself, I was having some problems with discomfort in my upper back and used the appropriate technique in the book. I found that I was able to completely relieve the problem. I would have liked more specific techniques and specific excercises for different situations, but then again it had all I needed to help myself so maybe it is complete. If you are having back pain problems and are tired of the constant regimen of pain-killers or the regular onset of back pain you owe it to yourself to read this book and see if it can provide the same benefit to you that it did to me.

1.0 out of 5 stars where are the solutions?, August 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I find the title "back pain SOLUTIONS" being totally misleading.
The text is all too general and provides "solutions" such as telling you to be posture aware and lie in a prone position if you are in pain...

The author keeps plugging the Alexander technique (he is a former teacher)and rambles on about Semantics (his Ph.D is in General Semantics)

All in all, this book didn't even give me any new nor helpful information on the subject. A good online search would have probably provided more.

Even aesthetically speaking, the text in poorly written and the diagrams are pixelated, giving out the feeling that this was a poor attempt to make a book out of notes from a seminar.

I would urge you to check the book out in a bookstore, before purchasing it !

As for exercising postural awareness, I would definitely recommend Eric Franklin's books.
