excellent
The collaboration between the P.T. and the D.O. is a beautiful thing. This is a nice reference book for the new student to the learned practitioner on the thoracic spine etc. This part of the spine is generally greatly under evaulated and under treated.This user freindly text should aide in more effective treatment. ...

Worth considering
I'll give this book higher marks than the original book by these authors in which they put forward their idea of "Power Factor Training."The reason, is because while there are still a lot of people who will convincingly pick apart each argument put forward by the authors, at least with this specialization book, you get a look at what the most effective back and shoulder exercises are. That alone was worth the book. As for their controversial plan, look, if you're in a rut, it may be worth trying. Just read the fine print carefully, and buy a good calculator.You'll need it.

high intensity , short range: welcome to the pain zone !
I would recommend the "power factor " approach to trainees in the intermediate and advance category. After a 26 year trainingcareer (weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding), it was refreshing to read practical training ideas that could immediately be introduced to myworkouts to up the overall intensity. Be warned.. these techniques are notfor beginners and advance trainees should not overestimate their abilitieswhen they hit those first high rep, short range movements ! Like all newtraining techniques ,apply your mind to the ideas and and routinespresented and make an informed decision as to the best way to use them interms of your own abilities and training goals...remember there are nofinal answers in the mysterious world of weight training (in spite what theacademics would have us believe !).All I can say is that short rangeoverloads did'nt harm Paul Anderson any (one of the strongest men of alltime ) and after my first shoulder workout using this system , my deltswere so burnt out I did'nt know where to put my arms ! ...

Miracle working pain relieving positions...
This book has suggestions for both neck and back pain. If your pain is so severe you have trouble with everyday tasks or functioning as I did when I first got this I highly recommend this for you. It has continued to help me with moderate to slight back pains as well as helping me not to throw my back out again. I would also suggest that you get an electric massager with a long enough handle to massage the muscle spasms away and also try floating in a swimming pool (get a cheap membership at the YMCA!) because it will really help to relieve the pressure causing the pain. Other items I found helpful in my recovery are "AM Yoga" with Rodney Yee and "Stress Relief Yoga" with Suzanne Deason.

Back Pain Book
This guy really knows his stuff!! It's as if he's there talking you through your back pain problem. Thanks for the help!!

This is a really good, easy to understand book.
Wow.I can't believe how easy this book was to read and follow.The illustrations make it simple to be sure you're doing the exercises the right way, which is so important when you're dealing with back and/or neck pain.The text covers immediate pain relief, good moves/bad moves for everyday activities, and strategic exercises for long term improvement.The really great thing about this book is that is was written by a Physical Therapist with real hands on experience in working with people with back problems, so you know the recommendations and exercise program are sound.My only regret is that it doesn't have a companion video, which would be neat; and my only complaint is that the book does not lay flat when you want to keep it open to a particular page while you do the exercises.Otherwise, I highly recommend it! ...
