4.0 out of 5 stars A New Look-insightful and helpful, April 7 2002

This review is from: Whats Really Wrong With You (Mass Market Paperback)

Quite a different look at the muscular system. I didn't agree with everything but throughout the reading of this book knew there was an underlieing feeling of truth. The case studies presented ring of the same things I see in my patients. Its helped me help my patients to better health. Don't discount this book based on its 'different theory' and some poor illustrations. Be opened minded, it's only going to cost you [$] bucks.

This review is from: Whats Really Wrong With You (Mass Market Paperback)

It's sort of funny that the 1st review I read was negative and some of the others were positive....I wonder if this person is a Chiropractor? He has explained to me why my BACK pain keeps coming back after my visit to the Chiropractor and I believe he is 100% correct. I have always thought of a chiropractor as some one who is over paid and doesn't really help to recover completely from injuries. It's a mask for the pain and it always comes back so once you visit a chiropractor, you will always visit a chiropractor.

In Thomas Griner Defense, I have happened to meet this man and he started to explain some of this stuff to me and I was surprised by his knowledge. As he did a short massage on my lower back, I noticed some of the pain disipate.

I have NOT bought this book yet and will be purchasing it with some hopes to gain some knowledge about muscles.

So, For the non believers, I have spoken personally to this man and I truly believe he knows what he is talking about and am going to follow some of his advice and let you know how it works for me...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good or accurate, May 23 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Whats Really Wrong With You (Mass Market Paperback)

I read through the context of the book and hoped to find some meaningful information about muscular problems, however I found that the authors descriptions of "perceived phenonomenon" to be totally inaccurate and barred by lack of real clinical experience.

The terminology of hypotonic spasm vs hypertonic spasm is nonsense, as all spasm by definition is hypertonic. He makes a number of descriptions about human anatomy that make me question whether he has had any training at all. If this book is a result of 25 years of study then he may need to quit since time in this circumstance is not generating greater understanding.

Nothing revolutionary here, plenty of this type of work has been better explained and correlated in many other places.

Save your money for someone who knows what they are talking about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Information
This book made more sense than anything else 've read about back problems. The chapters on muscle physiology were very detailed, but still understandable for a lay person like me... Read more
