Freedom From Backaches

I can't believe this book is out of print. It is the best results-oriented book I've ever read on how to analyze your current back problem and, in addition, what exercises will improve your current condition. Written by two physicians with incredible experience and the right approach to the problem most people have with their backs. Basically the back's problem are related to the skeletal system and the muscles that support it. Without the proper strength and flexibility in the muscular system you will be exposing yourself to incredible life-long problems.Why? The human skeleton in itself would fall down in a pile of bones without the strength of the muscular system. More importantly, the skeletal system could not function properly without a high degree of flexibilty in this system. So, when you let your muscular system get out of shape and you don't do anything (yoga, stretching or warming-up)to increase its flexibility every vertabre, joint and organ is headed for trouble once you put any stress on it or are involved in any type of accident. Perhaps this is common sense now. But, when this book was first published it was a tremendous success. Now it should be taken and republished or a website should be developed around it. Millions of people are being taken for a ride by bad advice from physicians and chiropractors who just prescribe drugs, surgery or treatments when most of their problems could be solved through simple stretching and strengthening exercises.
