Product Description
From a noted pioneer in sports medicine comes a breakthrough regimen for stopping back pain once and for all—without surgery.
Eighty-percent of Americans suffer some form of low-back pain—usually due to a herniated disk—but long-term relief is rarely achieved.
As a physician specializing in treating athletes, Dr. Vijay Vad has spent years researching how to cure back pain using medical yoga and Pilates. Profiled in The Wall Street Journal, his program requires just fifteen minutes a day for eight weeks to restore flexibility and prevent future injuries.
Offering a proven alternative to invasive surgery, Dr. Vad’s Back Rx provides the best of mind/body medicine by giving readers three step-by-step exercise series, demonstrated in 130 precise photographs, for implementing his popular program at home. Even readers with severely limited mobility will rejoice in Dr. Vad’s gentle introductory workout. Progressing through his self-paced program, they will discover a new range of exercises, breathing techniques, and tips for self-massage. For those who want to go even further and use this program for more than the treatment of a single injury, an advanced workout is included that puts readers on the road to peak performance.
The perfect combination of modern medicine, Pilates innovations, and ancient yoga postures, Back Rx builds important new fundamentals for lifelong freedom from pain.

This is an excellent book for dealing with this common problem afflicting so many people but it doesn’t explain why Pilate ordered Jesus to be whipped. That is definitely not the way to relieve back pain!

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.

My doctor suggested this book after I suffered an extremely painful pinched nerve on a Friday night. Left me crying all weekend and wondering whether I should go to the hospital when painkillers did not work well. I am only working on the A level yoga right now, but I read the material explaining why the exercises would work, and it all makes intellectual sense to me. The exercises are do-able. Some are exercises I did on Wii fit–only now I am doing them lying down. I am concentrating on my deep breathing which adds oxygen. I feel so much better, but I incorporated this with the PT stretches I was also given by the therapists. At the very least, doing these will not hurt, and I hope to really be in tip-top condition as I continue.
