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.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
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 ...

Rating: - Uniquely valuable but limited
The Multifidus Back Pain Solution is uniquely valuable because it shows 4 ways to do one key exercise (the only exercise in the whole book). Its the only book I've found that shows how to do this exercise lying face down which is much easier on my joints. Brief and easy to read, it is based on experimental evidence about how strenghtening the multifidus can help your back. Theoretically, doing only one exercise to help only one muscle group does not provide the total torso stiffness necessary to ideally ... Read More
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.
Rating: - Why it is a good read plus other suggestions.
You will like this book for what it tells you NOT to do and why more than for what it tells you to do. There is only one exercise (with variations) he suggests. However, he is great at explaining why other approaches may not be effective. He bases everything he says on his years of plowing through documented clinical trials. You will get more from this short book than you will from a visit to most Doctors or PTs. You will also save yourself a lot of running around from specialist to PT to alternative practitioners. ...

Rating: - Unbelievable... a borderline miracle....10++ stars
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! I had back surgery 2 years ago (L1-L2 thru L3-L4 lumbar diskectomy) to relieve severe lower back pain and sciatica pain in the left leg. Although the surgery relieved the sciatica, regularly every 4-6 weeks I subsequently had recurring "episodes" which took 2-3 weeks to subside.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 excellent 8/23/06 ... Read More
