Spinal Rehab

My therapist recommended this book for me to use in my own rehab program after I had finished 6 months of formal rehab for spinal rod and disc surgery. There are different levels of difficulty. My therapist was kind enough to go thru and mark the exercises accordingly and it has greatly extended my range of motion and flexibility without undue stress on the rest of my body. I am imobile from the neck to the waist and I use these exercises everyday. I would highly recommend this in conjunction with a prescribed phisical therapy rehad program

Very helpful

I am a physical therapist and have found this book very handy for learning exercises on the theraball, and creating a home exercise program for patients. Very useful!

Great Book!!

This is a great book!! It provides with clear detailed instructions, purposes of exercises and demonstration pictures of how to perform each exercise. It is simply an excellent reference to provide your patients with a challenging but fun exercise program. Highly recommended!
