Product Description:
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.

Rating : - Excellent!
Before starting any exercises, I read this book cover to cover. The author said to do this and it's quite necessary. All of the author's assertions are backed up by scientifc (blind) studies. He dispels some myths about what hurts and harms your back ---very revealing. My doctor recommended some exercises to strengthen my lower back. I have degenerative disc disease and stenosis with a curved spine. My pain level has gone down 70-80% since I started the multifidis exercises. The author shows 3 ways of doing the exercise. Can you spend 2 minutes a day 3 times a week? How can you beat that and you don't have to buy any special equipment, clothing, etc.. I did buy some ankle weights though as suggested. These exercises are very effective and far better than any stretch exercises that I've tried in the past.
