About the Book
 
"Back injury is the most common—and most expensive—muscle or bone problem in the U.S.," reports Business Week. In Back Care Basics, Dr. Schatz offers the low-cost solution in back care in the new millenium: therapeutic yoga. Her approach to back rehabilitation is gentle, effective, and without drugs or surgery. Back Care Basics encourages both positive health practices and a positive outlook—important tools for getting well. Dr. Schatz has designed her program to help those with pain from chronic musculoskeletal back and neck strain, spinal arthritis, osteoporosis, premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, and scoliosis. You will learn:
  • simple and practical ways to heal the back, restructure the body, and cope with stress
  • to become more sensitive to early warning signs of an impending "back attack" and learn what to do to ward it off
  • how daily activities may be hurting the back and how to modify them to prevent pain and injury
You will learn these things through:
  • yoga for postural correction and pain relief
  • stress management and relaxation techniques
  • guidelines for exercising safely
  • suggestions for practicing yoga at home
  • Back Goal Diary, Back Care Diary, Flexibility and Alignment Worksheets
  • a resource guide for further study
