Product Description:

Back Care Basics offers the low-cost solution for back care in the new millenium: therapeutic yoga. Dr. Schatz's approach to back rehabilitation is gentle, effective, and without drugs or surgery. Her program encourages both positive health practices and a positive outlook; the important tools needed for prevention and healing. Dr. Schatz has designed this program to help those with pain from chronic musculoskeletal back and neck strain, spinal arthritis, osteoporosis, premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, and scoliosis. Simple and practical ways to heal the back, restructure the body, and cope with stress are taught so that one becomes more sensitive to early warning signs of an impending 'back attack' and what to do to ward it off.

- Realistic program for neck & back pain that improves quality of life.
I found this to be a realistic guide for me-someone with 25+ years of neck and back pain. I have had multiple medical testing to identify the problems, and I always get the same 2 options: 1)surgery or 2)pain medication and "let it heal on it's own". With a herniated lumbar disc, several bulging lumbar and cervical discs, degenerative disc disease and arthritis, some people ask how I can keep at least a fair quality of life (I still work full-time). Although very skeptical at first, I have found that pilates and yoga techniques have strengthened my muscles and "inner core", as long as I proceed with caution and heed the advice of my doctor.
I have also learned the hard way how important it is to stay active-laying in bed long-term only makes pain and rehab worse in the long run. This book is a good tool!

- Life Saver!
I had a pain in my lower back, right above my buttocks for nearly a year. I couldn't run.. it never went away. I heard a crack when I was hitting a tennis ball against a wall with my racket repeatedly, practicing my very weak backhand. I was sore for 2 weeks and then I couldn't function.

I went to a Chiropractor and they charged me nearly $1000 with treatment.
At least I learned the name of the problem. The Sacro-iliac joints.
Where the Spine meets the pelvis.
I tried a private physical therapist. A couple of rubs and massages... less pain but was no different.

Well, I found this book and followed the Yoga instructions.
I did the warm up procedures. I did the general Yoga and then I did the chapter on my injury... in a month I felt more flexible. After 3 months I was perfect!! Been perfect since. This was nearly 15 years ago!

I've bought this book for ... Read More

- The standard in back care knowledge
My wife picked this book up for our daughter with scoliosis. Needless to say, this book is very technical and full of solid medically sound information. You need to get this book. It helped us understand the vital link to health that our spiine represents. It made me realize that I too had to take better care of my back, being that I have a sedentary job(office). This book is the standard by which all back care books should be judged.

- Great Resource for Teachers and Students Alike
I notice that a few reviewers have mentioned they found exercises in the book too easy and it's true that the book is geared toward those who may be recovering from injury and/or are new to yoga. That said, as a yoga instructor and long-time practitioner I've found this book to be a wonderful resource. In fact, some of the poses in the book have become staples in my lesson plans (and in my own practice) because they serve - for beginners and advanced students alike - as excellent warm-up poses to begin opening the body or cool-down poses to release the lower back. In addition, some of the poses shown using a chair or wall as a prop are useful both for beginners unable to do the full pose and (of equal importance!)for intermediate students who have experience with the full pose, but have never learned, or are still working on mastering correct points of alignment, which are integral to gaining the full benefits of ...
