Pain Cure Book Based Mostly On New Age Philosophy and Eastern Religion - Astanga Yoga & Hatha Yoga 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This book is written with a strong influence of New Age philosophy, Eastern Mysticism, Astanga Yoga (the word ashtanga refer specifically to the eight spiritual practices outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra) and Hatha Yoga all mingled together.

In Hinduism there are many different forms of "Yoga" which are paths of practice and Astanga Yoga & Hatha Yoga are one of many that leads the aspirant to the ultimate goal of union with divinity (Hindu gods) and the unity of all of Creation.

Many erroneously believe they can practice yoga disciplines, postures, breathing, and focusing techniques devoid of yoga's spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity.

Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance and in America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in 20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness instructors, *these trainers are in reality the leading missionaries of eastern religion* in the west. The twenty-seven billion dollar a year yoga industry is marketed to Christians, students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citizens promising solutions for stress reduction, concentration problems, and issues of self confidence.

Astanga Yoga & Hatha Yoga are in reality a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in the church through "Christ-centered yoga classes" designed to help improve spirituality and experience "the presence of God". But PLEASE BEWARE as yoga's mysticism is NOT compatible with historic Christianity no matter how it is packaged!

Rev. Jimmy Hanratty

PS: In all fairness I must add that the book has some very good insights and valuable information on healing from TMS if one knows how to eat the hay and spit out the sticks, they can benefit from the book. If all the suggestions in the book were followed you would be dabbling in Eastern mysticism and as a Christian I feel Christians should be warned.

A strong Christian could probably read the book, discern the mysticism and befit from the book. A weaker Christian could possible be sucked into pagan religious practices and disciplines if all suggestions in the book are followed. My advice is, if you read the book be cautious not to accept the New Age influence or Easter religious disciplines.

Dr. Borenstein is an engaging author who has written a book that demystifies back pain. The title page shows him in caricature as a physician who holds the prescription for your back pain. He dedicates the book to his patients and this caring, kindly tone is maintained throughout the book. The first chapters of the book introduce the basics of back pain causes and offer insights into understanding and making the most of physician visits. The book continues to explain diagnostic tests, basic back pain relief, mechanical back pain causes and treatments, medical causes of back pain, medications, exercise, complementary therapies, surgery, back pain prevention and sex with back pain. This is a useful, approachable book written by a concerned and knowledgeable practitioner. The illustrations are almost exclusively line art diagrams, they are of good quality but more illustrations would be helpful in conveying key concepts in the book. I will recommend this to those who have back pain.

Editorial Review:

This is the first book designed to give people the information they need to devise a combination treatment plan.

The Ultimate Back Book 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I highly recommend this book. The book starts with a detailed account of the anatomy of the spine including parts of discs, and muscles surrounding the central nervous system. Next Ms. Fine proceeds with explainations of exactly what can go wrong. I particurly think that the malfunctions and usual age groups that they happen is helpful. She goes further to arm you with the knowledge of the biases that specific types of doctors may have towards certain procedures/diagnosis. An example is that a surgeon will, most likely, want to operate thus, finding a solution to your pain. The book includes self examinations and exercises. Also there is a history of what doctors have prescribed for back pain in prior years. Finally some advice as to how to live with pain and how to better manage that pain. I think this book becomes far more important in the age that we live. It is now, more than ever, time to take charge of your own health-whether it be diagnosis or progression towards managing pain.

Editorial Review:

Judylaine Fine establishes that in most cases a thoughtful combination of therapies and approaches, rather than a single treatment, is the best way to deal with what can be a mysterious and heartbreaking affliction. If you suffer from back pain, you will find more than just physical comfort in The Ultimate Back Book. With its personal, down-to-earth, and, at times, irreverant style, you will find the inspiration you need to fight and ultimately conquer your pain.

Editorial Review:

The book summarizes the best available evidence of the management of acute and chronic low back pain. The evidence is presented in a clinically relevant order, to guide the practitioner through understanding the problem, taking a history, performing an examination, ordering investigations, and eventually prescribing treatment. At times the text is provocative and controversial with its thought-stimulating approach. The style reflects the authors' personae, is user friendly, and promotes communication.

A decent book for a low price 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This introductory book on holistic massage contains chapters on head, foot, and body massage. Each chapter further divides into sections outlining basic massage strokes with reccommended oils, and a basic routine with a partner or for yourself. It contains useful information for those interested in learning massage, and is well-illustrated as a further guide to technique. Aside from the useful illustrations, however, the use of photographs in other sections is just excessive and fails to make up for a lack of well-organized information. Also, be prepared to read through an amount of spiritualized material with plenty of warm fuzzy feelings but a deficit in thorough explanation and concrete evidence. All in all, this book is probably worth buying (for the beginner only) at around $5, but there are better guides out there.

The MindBody Audio Program is a set of three CD's comprising a complete educational program for mindbody treatment of back pain, Tension Myositis Syndrome, and other disorders. CD One is a recording of a one hour seminar entitled "The Mind: The Missing Link in the Back and Neck Pain Puzzle". This seminar has been attended by hundreds of individuals at Dr. Schechter's Beverly Hills office.

CD Two is entitled "TMS: Diagnosis and Treatment". This CD will teach you about how a diagnosis of TMS is made and what a treatment program consists of. CD Three is entitled "The Psychology of Tension Myositis Syndrome". It's a dialogue between Dr. Schechter and Donald Dubin, MFCC, a psycho-therapist who has treated hundreds of individuals with a diagnosis of TMS since 1996.

In total, the educational program, on CD's, will teach you about this remarkable mindbody approach to back pain, and other disorders. This set of three CDs has been recently digitally re-mastered and is also available on audio cassettes.

Backs in Motion by Maharan MD 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent rendition on the functioning of the back.
There is a complete explanation of the atlas, axis vertebra prominens, thoracic curvature and sacral curvature. The classic
leaning forward or kyphosis is depicted. The tri-joint complex is shown; whereby, there is a superior vertebral notch and fibrocartilage. The kyphosis loads the front of the vertebrae and
squeezes until the classic bulge protrudes.
Spinal stenosis
results when the spinal canal is too tight. Electrogalvanic stimulation increases circulation. Specific exercises are
cited to assist with spinal health maintenance.
Facet joints are a root problem in approximately 80% of patients.
Sprains may be a result of muscle spasms. Trigger points in
muscles may be handled with Electrogalvanic stimulation.
A number of exercises improve back health. Lying flat on your
back and bending the knees improves functioning. In addition,
placing the leg straight on a flat table/surface may improve
spinal posture. The discs act as shock absorbers.

This book is excellent as a health reference on the spine.

This is a really good, easy to understand book. 5 out of 5 stars.

Wow. I can't believe how easy this book was to read and follow. The illustrations make it simple to be sure you're doing the exercises the right way, which is so important when you're dealing with back and/or neck pain. The text covers immediate pain relief, good moves/bad moves for everyday activities, and strategic exercises for long term improvement. The really great thing about this book is that is was written by a Physical Therapist with real hands on experience in working with people with back problems, so you know the recommendations and exercise program are sound. My only regret is that it doesn't have a companion video, which would be neat; and my only complaint is that the book does not lay flat when you want to keep it open to a particular page while you do the exercises. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!

Editorial Review:

A physical therapist tells how to relieve back and neck pain, of which 70 million Americans suffer. Your movement and posture may be the source - or the cure - for neck and low back pain. Mike Hage shows you how to analyze your patterns of standing, bending, breathing - even thinking. Learn to adjust these patterns in every move you make, from getting out of bed and choosing the right shoes to talking on the phone and getting to work. Take control of your pain and participate in your own rehabilitation by reprogramming your body to move correctly.

Suffer no more 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Arthur Michele was the kind of doctor who could and did save people's lives, including mine. Twenty years ago, when I first saw him, I had been out of work for six months and was in constant excruciating pain. (Childbirth years later, was by comparison a piece of cake.) His examination was a revelation, and so were his treatments--an intensive therapy program that restored my health and for 20 years has prevented a reoccurrence.

Back pain produced by the muscular-skeletal imbalances that Dr. Michele addresses here are threatening only to quality of life. But as sufferers know too well, what is the value of life if one can barely walk, sit or stand? It is surprising that very few doctors, even today, are familiar with Dr. Michele's revolutionary thinking. Fortunately, those in pain can still benefit from his wisdom--by finding and buying this book. It works. Take if from one who has been there. Alyssa A. Lappen

How a book changed my life. 5 out of 5 stars.

I am writing this as a man who would have retired as a general in the US Army or died in Vietman if it wasn't for my bad back. Army doctors and civilian doctors couldn't do anything for me so I had to quit the army. In the 1970s I discovered this book. It was the first book that really explained why 30% of people have a bad lower back. I followed the advice and exercises and now live a plain free life.
