Editorial Review:
New research suggests that most back pain is caused by underdeveloped multifidus muscles, those that connect the spinal vertebrae and are crucial in bending the back. This book presents exercises to strengthen the multifidus group. Simple explanations and black-and-white drawings throughout show readers how to work with these muscles.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good for giving you info on research
Most of this book gives alot of research info about what is true and not true about back pain. There is actually very little on actual exercises except for the 3 he describes which are excellent as there is one for every level of back pain you are in. I would have liked more exericises but what I do appreciate is that he points out once you reach your level of strength, you don't have to do them every day to maintain it.

I was walking, swimming, stretching, etc., all to no avail. Skelaxin and Mobic became my best friends during this period. A random Google search turned up this book by Jim Johnson (and the ...

I have been doing the exercises for 2 months. My lower back pain has not completely gone away, but has been greatly reduced. Best $10 I have spent in a long time...
Rating: - Info my physical therapist did not give me!
I've been struggling with lower back problems for almost a year. Had an MRI that showed a bulging disc, but my symptoms didn't match that location. Had physical therapy (most of it made me worse), finally had a steriod injection that decreased the inflammation and eliminated the pain (although it is supposed to be temporary). No one (Doctor or therapists) seemed all that interested in helping me determine what to do to prevent a recurrence. I purchased several books -- this one was very helpful (although ... Read More
