Here is what people are saying about the Back Rx: A Fifteen-Minute-A-Day Yoga-And Pilates-Based Program to End Low Back Pain Forever
5 Star Rating  "Working So Far"2009-10-25
- Reviewed By User: A22MZBTCTEOLC1
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.

The book worked for me. Anyone doing these exercises as described will be better off for it. After a lower back injury, I started out with the 'easy' stuff. I progressed to 'series B'--and use it for maintainance and prevention. My quality of life is much better.
 
4 Star Rating  "Safe & Sound Basic Yoga & Pilates Program for Low Back Pain"2009-03-10
- Reviewed By User: A3923STNJPYX9M
Back RX - A 15-Minute-A-Day Yoga and Pilates Based Program to End Low Back Pain is an informative book written from the perspective of a physician and back pain sufferer. Its author, Vijay Vad, MD, is a sports medicine specialist, professor at Cornell University Medical Center, and Back Care Advisor for the PGA Tour. The prescribed program blends traditional physical therapy/rehabilitation with yoga and Pilates poses and has been shown effective for relieving low back pain in clinical trials.

This program focuses only on low back pain, so if your pain is in your mid back, upper back, or neck, this is not the program for you.

The first part of the book (Chapters 1 - 6) provides background information on the structure of the back, including basic anatomy and an exploration of the major causes of back pain including muscle imbalance, herniated discs, stress, age, and lifestyle issues. The four stages of low back pain care and recovery from stage 1 (the acute phase) through stage 4 (where spinal fusion seems necessary) are explained. The three aspects of a healthy back - flexibility, strength, and endurance are defined. Strategies for keeping your back healthy are explored, including the suggestion for positioning your body during sleep - on your side with your knees bent and a small pillow placed between them - which can provide significant pain relief. There are also explanations and illustrated examples of proper desk/chair ergonomics and methods for lifting, pushing, and pulling.

The actual physical exercise program begins with chapter 7, which provides an introduction to the poses - floor based yoga and Pilates poses modified to eliminate any potential stress to the back- and outlines a 9 week program schedule.

Series A, the initial program, is a series of gentle floor based poses designed to build stability and strength and includes a gentle bridge pose, abdominal strengtheners, knees-to-chest pose, reclining tree pose and reclining bound angle poses to open up the hips, as well as stretches done lying on your side. There are also several prone (lying on your belly) poses including locust pose and cat stretch.

Series B is built on Series A and is intended to return you to a complete active lifestyle. The poses are slightly more challenging than in Series A.

Series C is to be performed only when you can do Series B pain free and are the more challenging. It includes many basic Pilates moves - the hundred, advanced abdominal crunches, the criss-cross, reverse crunches, and reclining leg circles - to build core strength.

Back Rx concludes with brief descriptions of other health care modalities - massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture - and how they might help with low back pain relief and a forward look into the future of back pain care, including new therapies that are currently being tested.

The book outlines a very basic, yet comprehensive mind-body solution for low back pain. While there is no one solution that will work for everyone, if you suffer from low back pain and also have restricted range of motion in your hips, the program outlined in this book may offer relief. However, if you are already involved in a program of physical therapy, you may be familiar with many of the exercises suggested in this program.

As a certified yoga instructor and former low back pain suffer (herniated discs) who has healed through yoga exercises very similar to those Dr. Vad suggests, I think this book is worth a closer look for low back pain sufferers.

Recommended for those wanting a basic yoga based program for the relief of low back pain.

You need to do some for of aerobics every other day and you will need to treat the pain and ice everyday as well but, done right, the exercise series in this book really does make a difference.

3 Star Rating  "Thoughtfulm, safe process, but does it work????"2006-02-02
- Reviewed By davek1076
I felt that Dr. Vad's approach was safe and logical. He has you perform easy basic exercises for some time, and then graduate to more strenuous exercises. I must say, though, as someone is in pretty fair physical condition to begin with, I felt the exercises were too basic, and not at all challenging. There didn't seem to be an abundance of info on treatments or back pain causes either. I guess though, the real proof is, "Did it work? Did following the program letter for letter improve my back pain?" And, in my case, which of course is very individual, after following the program to the "T" for 8 weeks, it really did nothing me. Decent book, but I'm still looking for the magic bullet.
