An excellent book. A long term back pain sufferer herself, in the course of more than a decade the author interviews numerous physicians and trainers in the field of back pain therapy about their method or insights, and does a nice job of contrasting their philosophies and tracking trends in back rehab over time. Ultimately her experiences and intuitions make a strong case for focused strength training to correct our natural overreaction to past injuries, which often overstresses muscles and joints that can't compensate fully, causing pain.
