A Wealth of Information July 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a wealth of information. I am a licensed massage therapist and I can honestly say that well over half of the pain I treat daily is posture related or caused by holding the body in positions that are sorely out of balance with nature.
Personally this book has helped me as a motorcycle rider. It taught me how to keep my helmet from wrenching my neck out of alignment and how to sit properly by example. I figure if the ladies riding the covered wagons can make it across the country on wooden seats (with no shock absorbers) by stack-sitting on their voyage, I should be able to make it a couple of states over to visit my mom!
Now I can allow my chiropractor to get off the backseat of my bike and go back to treating his regular patients! Thanks to a really great book!

Sensible 8 step posture and pain solution July 22, 2008
My husband and I are glued to this book. At last a health related how-to book which is totally sensible, not based on gimmicks and HELPFUL.
Even after a few weeks we can see and feel a difference.
Pain Free for Less than One Chiropractor Co-Pay July 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I suffered from nightly back pain for months. I purchased two new beds before going to a chiropractor. I only experienced limited temporary relief. I then purchased 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back. (for less than one co-pay to the chiropractor) While there are beneficial exercises in the book - most helpful to me were the postures I could use in my everyday life - sitting - walking - and even sleeping. The author also includes photos of common mistakes of what NOT to do. Easy to read, colorful and sturdy book binding. I am back pain free after only about 10 days.

This is an elegantly written, beautifully illustrated book which should be on the shelves of everyone who has ever had a back twinge, stiff neck, or generally poor posture. I would recommend it to those who are concerned about the accumulative effects of habitually poor sitting, sleeping, or walking postures, because it nurtures an increased consciousness for what postures will inevitably lead to problems down the road while offering a clear and memorable program for making sustainable, longterm changes. I often find myself now, for instance, when driving or sitting at my desk, automatically placing my shoulders in the correct sitting position and lengthening my spine as I work. It increases my productivity, and saves my back! For someone who hasn't had extreme back problems, but is on the cusp of middle-age, I find this book has opened up a whole new language for body care that is already having a positive impact on my health.
Great Book! June 30, 2008
This book is really wonderful! Fortunately I don't have to deal with any severe back problems, but am mainly interested in the posture aspect of the book. The background information (accompanied by photos and illustrations) about how the spine works, how our everyday life can compromise its health, how many other cultures don't have the kind of back problems that we have come to accept as inevitable, is truly fascinating. The solutions offered are easy to incorporate into daily life. They address the way we sit, stand, lie down, bend down and walk. The descriptions are easy to understand, and the many photos make it very easy to follow the instructions. I am definitely much more aware of how I move and of my posture and I am sure that the benefits in the long run will be enormous.
