Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques (Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations & Techniques) 29 reviews
Carol Kisner, Lynn Allen Colby
F A Davis Co, 2007
Great for injury self-management
Had broken arm (sports injury). I felt that my Kaiser medical professionals' explanations of injury, treatment and rehabilitation were not informative enough. Got this book and was very happy because it explains things THOROUGHLY! Am making good rehab progress because I'm doing exercises that the book shows and explains (exercises that my Physical Therapist hadn't shown or given to me).

An Absolute must for TMJD Sufferers.
After suffering for at least 13 years with constant vertigo and phantom ear problems, I found the answer behind the symptoms. I had indepth testing of my ears and brain. No tumors and not even hearing loss even though my hearing was muffled. I was diagnosed with TMJD about 13 years ago but when I was told I had TMJD all that was said was I have a jaw disorder. I took it upon myself to read blogs ...

Robin McKenzie, Craig Kubey

Excellent resource for spinal health

Building Bone Vitality: A Revolutionary Diet Plan to Prevent Bone Loss and Reverse Osteoporosis--Without ...13 reviews
Amy Lanou, Michael Castleman
McGraw-Hill, 2009
Building Bone Vitality
I eliminated animal protein from my diet and increased plant protein based on the author's recommendations. I have been noticing significant positive changes in my health, mostly my joints. The book is excellent in that the author does build a strong case that animal protein does promote calcium depletion.

This book is worth $300.00
I could have saved over $1500 in doctor and physical therapy bills had I read this book after the first Dr visit. If you have shoulder pain, please don't hesitate, buy this book! I now have an immense respect for Jim Johnson.
After 5 months of little progress, I finally found this book and about 6 weeks later I'm back to all my normal sports, full tilt.

Yoga for Arthritis: The Complete Guide13 reviews
Loren Fishman, Ellen Saltonstall
W. W. Norton & Company, 2008
Rocks your yoga world!! But poorly-named!!
I have bought countless "huge" yoga books that have yielded very little of those special little nuggets that rock my yoga world. This book is so full of amazing little variations on traditional poses and some new poses altogether.
Even if you/your students don't have any health issues, the poses and instructions given in this book bring new life to old, worn-out boring poses (variation breads ...

Over the past 4 months I went to a chiropractor, a medical doctor and to physical therapy for my frozen shoulder. I was is pain all the time and it consumed me and every aspect of my life.

From Fatigued to Fantastic43 reviews
Jacob Teitelbaum
Avery Trade, 2007
Finally!!!
I almost cried when I read this book because it explained so many things that were going on with my body. I have been trying to treat my symtoms seperately with different doctors and this book made me realize that most of my problems are connected and stemming from the same thing. I love the fact that it takes a combination approach of Rx and natural remedies. well worth the read.

Real Help At Long Last!
For most of my life I was told that the blood and urine tests and the xrays showed I was "perfectly healthy". Still, I suffered terrible pain and a severe lack of sleep, rarely getting more than 2, 3 or sometimes 4 hours of sleep a night.
Then this wonderful doctor, who himself suffered from fibromyalgia, began to study this terrible disease. When he wrote this book, he had studied ...

The Anatomy of Pilates6 reviews
Paul Massey
North Atlantic Books, 2009
I can't say enough good things about this book!
Although this book is written for the health professional, it is a fantastic resource for the Pilates beginner as well. The text is well organized, thorough, clear and easy to understand. The illustrations of how to do the individual exercises are some of the most helpful I have seen in an exercise book.
