Anthony did an outstanding job of categorizing some of the most common structural dysfunctions and created a simple exercise prescription to address them. The average reader will not know anything about corrective exercise, and doesn't need to in order to have success with this program. Kudos on the unusual exercises, too; this is very creative stuff. Anthony's a good speaker, too, by the way. Saw him three times at IDEA 2008, took a lot of notes and was able to work through them at home. Thumbs up!

Book is still extremely relevant and is able to relay information for all levels of experience, from those who have never exercised to those that have dedicated their career too it.

If you've got physical pain due to musculoskeletal issues, I truly believe this book will help you. The only catch is that you have to do the exercises!! I had some problems and performing the exercises in this book really helped me.
