Summary

Anyone who's ever had back pain knows how debilitating it can be. From a slight twinge when you walk to an all-consuming ache, it can keep you from working out, working at the office, and even getting out of bed. Luckily, there are ways to both prevent and relieve back pain-and they're detailed in Healthy Back Anatomy. Written by a leading chiropractor, Healthy Back Anatomy features a range of exercises that help strengthen and stabilize the muscles of your back. Each move includes step-by-step instructions, plus full-color photos and anatomical illustrations that let you see how your muscles work. You'll see what muscles you're targeting and learn how to avoid injuring them. And, when you're ready, you'll even have modifications to make the moves harder and challenge yourself further. It's a complete program that includes stretches, balance and posture exercises, and lower back, neck, shoulder, and core exercises, as well as warm-ups and cool-downs. When you're hurting, having a pain-free back can sometimes seem impossible. But with this book, your health is in your hands!
