(More customer reviews)This book did not deliver what it promised. The first few chapters have excellent information on the many soft tissue imbalances that can cause pain. But most of the book is really a very out-of-date strength training guide for "correcting" these imbalances. Many of the exercises are contraindicated, and don't even address the areas the author suggests they do. The models in the photos (I assume one is the author??) have horrific form, with seemingly no ability to stabilize their spine. Corrective exercise has moved way past this author's theories - in fact, more than 10 years ago, so any good personal training or up-to-date physical therapist could give you far more information than this book. To call it a pain relief method is dangerous - these exercises do not address muscle imbalances, will lead to compensation, over-strengthening of large muscle groups in isolation, and atrophy of the intrinsic support system so key to "overpowering pain". Thumbs Down!
