Product Description

Product Description

The Pilates craze has swept the nation, and everyone from celebrities to college students to homemakers are in on it. They know that Pilates can grant tremendous fitness benefits, that it can stretch and tone and strengthen, and that the exercises are fun to do. But most people aren't aware that Pilates stretches can relieve pain, too.

Back pain is the number one cause for missing work in America. Millions of people suffer from back pain and are unable to find relief from drugs or surgery. Pilates is a collection of exercises for strengthening the spine, and it can relieve chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain for good.

The Pilates Back Book is the first book to highlight the pain-relieving properties of Pilates. Readers will discover:
-The link between muscles and back pain-and how to use that knowledge to prevent further injury.
-How to design a personal Pilates program for specific types of pain.
-Exactly how to do the Pilates stretches through lavish full-color photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel the stretch!, Oct 31 2003
By digikat "digikat" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
I've looked at many excercise books and I have found that the Pilates Back Book really stands out.

What I like about it is that there are color pictures for every excercise, illustrating them step by step. Furthermore, the pictures aren't interrupted by writing, except for verbal descriptions of the exercise and how many times each one should be done. All of the writing about the benefits of pilates for your back and the Pilates method is in the beginning of the book.

I don't do pilates consistently enough to notice changes in posture and other long-term benefits, but rather as a quick fix when my back hurts. I found that doing the exercises in the book helps my back when it is sore or tired.

Because there are so many exercises, you can pick which ones you can do if you have a health restriction like arthritis. There are plently of exercises for both beginners and people who are quite limber.

I also recommend checking out pilates exercises on DVD/VHS, because sometimes it's easier to get the motivation to do exercises if you are watching someone else do them along with you.

One minus about the book is that it doesn't lay flat when it's opened, so it's hard to have it open and read while doing exercises at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life saver for lower back pain, Jun 30 2003
By kelly rossiter (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
I gained alot of weight during my pregnancy, and being a small person, the extra weight hurt my back long after my son was born. Through Pilates and specifically, this book I have relieved much of my pain. The exercises are effective and don't hurt to perform. The photography is excellent and the direction given to each move is great. A wonderful,helpful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stretching does cure Back Pain, Oct 16 2002
By A Customer
Back problems can come from a variety of sources. Neck injuries, neck mis-alignments,torn ligaments, improper posture,short leg, and the list goes on. Each back problem, is different than the next, and should be treated differently. There isnt a one-fix all!!! For me, the main cause of my back pain, was do to, tight glutes, and hamstrings. They were so tight, that it tightened up my back muscles(back pain), and virtually every other muscle in my body. The stretching outlined in this book, really helped to lossen up those muscles, and therefore lossen up my back muscles, and therefore help get rid of back pain. You dont need any medical studies, to show this, works. Its pure common sense. The muscles in the body are interconnected, and one set of tight muscles, are prone to tighten other muscles. The book has, helped me alot. Definately worth the buy.
