[.ca] Back Rx (ISBN 1592400450)

Still looking for a good yoga book in CA:
While I am glad that this type of book helped the reviewers who gave it high marks - anyone who has been to physical therapy for their back pain has been given the exercises that were covered. After looking through the content cover to cover, only 2-3 positions would qualify as "yoga" and the rest would fall under "floor exercises" or "home exercise program." I think the title was misleading as I was looking for a book showing yoga positions in succession of difficulty w/ clear explanations on how to graduate more advanced positions based on your skill level and back issues. This was not the book I thought it was going to be.

Good Floor Exercises:
This book offeres some people with back probelms some hope in getting themselves moving by performing the movements on the floor. Very easy to follow and basic movements. Also recommend the Backsmart Fitness Plan by Dr.Adam Weiss, execellent sorce and detailed full body workouts for all fitness levels.

excellent, thorough and well written:
this is a very well written book with a great clinically proven exercise program. contrary to one of the reviews, the search shows that this program was well researched and presented at a prestigious national physician conference american academy of physical medicine and rehabilitation in chicago. i commend the authors for putting out a solid and clinically proven exercise program.

a physician suffering with chronic back pain:
i found the book very easy to read for the layperson and very well written from a scientific viewpoint. the exercises have already begun to gradually increase my mobility and decrease the pain. it is a great read for all back pain sufferers to gain an insight into their problem

Knowlegable about exercises:
I have not yet read the book in question, but I read the review from the person questioning the validity of the MDs research. I have seen the program on television, and, as a physcial therapist, I can tell you that most of the exercises I saw being performed were exercises that are fairly standard to physical therapy practice.
