very helpful

While reading this book I was finding myself realizing it was describing a friend who is having trouble with lower body issues.
Also helpful with rethinking how I work on people everyday.

amazingly simple

I have hyper mobile Ehlers Danlos and I thought I was doomed with improving my muscular strength because my body ached so bad when I attempted to exercise in a normal way. Muscle activation is the glue that’s going to hold me together by strengthening my core muscles. Thanks sooo much!

good ideas but too vague

There just is not enough explanation or demonstration for many of the exercises/positions— too vague, no info about how long to hold, how many reps, and some of the positions need more explanation.

Written in normal English for normal humans.

It took me two hours to fully understand something I knew nothing about.
I learned what I needed to do and his to do it, efficiently.
Can't beat that.

This was free, and I can't recommend paying any more for it.

Back Pain Expert

I consider myself as a back pain expert because I have lived with it so long and tried just about everything but surgery. When I read this book it just made sense. I am not cured, but I do have pain relief- something I have not had (in spite of a myriad of treatments)in years.

I found this book very useful. The hip activation exercises put an immediate stop to various minor injuries resulting from my daily walk. I have also received benefit from the head and shoulder sections. Using my Kindle version allowed me to set up quick access to the sections I need. written in a straightforward way with fairly clear instructions.
