Summary: A Good Resource...
Comment: This book is a good resource for someone suffering from back pain and is interested in trying some new exercises. Mr. Johnson bases just about everything he says in this book on the results of "randomized, controlled trials". His arguments are acceptable and he always provides convincing evidence. My only problem is that there is little discussion about sports related back injuries. I also had a problem with the fact that there is only 1 picture of the multifidus and it's not that great.
The section "things every back pain sufferer needs to know" was excellent and I learned a lot from it. Overall this book was ok, but somehow, I finished the book and still wanted more.

Summary: Ignorant
Comment: As a chiropractor I can tell you that obviously this author does not know that the main spinal stabilizers in your back aren't under conscious control. YOU CANNOT STRENGTHEN THEM WITH STANDARD REHAB EXERCISES. The multifidus group aren't involved in stabilization and closed chain motion, but rather are functional in open chain motion. To put this in layman's terms, they are important when lifting stuff, but have little to do with posture and walking.....where muscle atrophy causes problems in back pain. To work THOSE muscles, you need to do it indirectly, for example, by doing balance exercises with a wobble board, or better yet, fix the bad habits that are at the root of the problem by the Alexander Technique. Additionally, most back pain is actually caused by chronic disc degeneration. The authority on how, why, and what to do about it is Cox's book, Low Back Pain. Do yourself a favor, see your chiropractor.
