Using the latest advances in the science of movement, this book offers
the unique and innovative Spinal Training method to help prevent and
alleviate back pain. And in addition to strengthening your back, Spinal
Training will also improve your posture, eliminate tension, reduce your
stress response and diminish pain.
Drawing from Pilates, yoga, physical therapy and others and based on the
principles of osteopathy, biomechanics and kinesiology, this holistic
approach makes it possible for effective and gentle work to be done on
the areas that are the most important for reducing back pain and
enhancing good posture for a healthy back.
Full-color throughout with lavish and clear illustrations of the back's
anatomy, this book features step-by-step photos with 80 exercise
routines that meet the requirements for a healthy back. These routines
can be customized with the self-assessment exercise provided. Thus the
exercises can focus precisely on each person's specific needs and
desired outcome.
The Spinal Training method can be used by anyone, regardless of age or
fitness level. Each training plan can be individually adapted to the
nature of the specific pain, for any type of posture, degree of
flexibility, muscle strength, or the time available to regain normal
back strength.
Whether the goal is to simply maintain a healthy and happy back or to
reduce and eliminate pain, this books offers the right tools to make the
back feel better, no matter what the condition may be.
