Rating:  - Don't buy this book
This book should not have the word "exercises" in the title. It's mostly just words, words, and words. It's also very, very basic. If you really can't move at all and you don't know any exercises this might be the book for you. But if you know how to turn your head and want some better ideas and exercises try something else. I recently bought 5 back books from Amazon and this was the 2nd to last worse one. "No more aching back" was the worst.
Rating: - Extremely mediocre & extremely non evidence based

their right mind believe in evidence base medicine
This kind of lay discussion on 'exercises' without
detailed recourse to evidence, nor comparison between
different exercise programs, and omission of a decent

elementary stuff like red flags make this book
extremely extremely mediocre. Extremely not up to standard

If you need to start somewhere then this book will help you to exercise away your pain. If you already workout then this book will not give you the type of workout to improve your condition. This was given to me as a gift and I did pick up a few good pointers.
Rating:  - OK but not really professional
I have read book about backache before this one "Backache : home treatment and prevention" by Homola, Samuel. That book was better for backache understanding.
Anyway, I do agree that exercises are good and practical way to get rid of your backache. And I have good experience and knowledge of exercises in general. However, if this is not first book on back exercises you are going to read, I recommend you to read more professional book.
In summary, good for begginer, but too simple if you ... Read More
