Back in Shape

Back in Shape – A Back Owner’s Manual
By Stephen H. Hochschuler, MD
This book is a very good primer that covers spinal anatomy, common causes of back pain and several chapters on self-care, prevention and living a back-healthy lifestyle. It includes a broad range of exercises, demonstrated by former Ms. Olympia female bodybuilder, Cory Everson. The book is written in an easily understandable, very positive tone and is especially useful for practical tips regarding exercises, sports, making your job and home a back-friendly environment and first aid for a back sprain.
