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.
