Both these authors know what they’re talking about, and provide advice on using yoga to alleviate or end many types of back pain that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere.

I bought this for a friend who recently had back surgery. Apparently, he likes the book as his back pain is diminishing.

I had been SUFFERING with constant sciatic pain for over 2 years. I was told that I had a herniated L4 and L5 and would need surgery. Approximately, at the same time, I read an article in the NYTimes describing my condition and Dr. Loren’s treatment . I immediately called his office and made an appointment. After his examination and use of an EMG , he diagnosed me with one of the worst cases of piriformis syndrome he had ever seen. After several months of aggressive physical therapy I had total relief from pain. For 2 years after therapy I diligently did certain yoga stretches prescribed by Dr. Fishman. I have been PAIN FREE since 1992!!! Sight unseen, I would recommend this book. Carolyn Z.

The book is structured with a description of the conditions the yoga pose is intended to help. I had been unsuccessful in finding information about piriformus syndrome and found the book informative with helpful exercises.
I found Yoga being used in some therapeutic programs for my son. I also bought Richard Hittleman’s 28 day program of yoga some time ago when I had decided to try to get back into shape and found it a great way to begin an exercise program.
