Then she provides instruction in relaxation techniques and yoga postures with an emphasis on correct alignment. She encourages the reader to keep a progress diary and prescribes specific exercises for ailments such as sciatica, scoliosis, and chronic neck pain.

Great book! Lots of information! Great pictures and examples of great yoga positions. If you have problems with your back this would be a good book to get!

Back Care Basics

Excellent book! Just what I was hoping for, it was clear, easy to follow, and possible to do at home on your own for the most part. The fact that it was written by a medical doctor who explained the benefits of each yoga move from a medical and exercise point of view was what we need more of in back care.
