In a tangential sort of way this could be considered another book in my Covid reading series. I was able to borrow a copy at my local library which has re- opened but it was the influence of COVID-19 that brought us together.
I’ve been working remotely since March 16, 2020 so each day I’m able to listen to WAMC based in Albany, NY as I work from my home office. Dr. Tieri, a clinical instructor at the Stone Ridge Healing Arts Center in Stone Ridge, NY, made an appearance on a late spring edition of Medical Monday. I listened with interest as he talked about body alignment and movement to address many of the sundry aches and pains many of us suffer as we age.
Since I began working remotely back in mid-March, I’ve been far more active. The absence of daily commutes allows more time and space for my fitness routine of walking around the neighborhood at various levels cardiovascular engagement. I also take more breaks from the computer by taking casual walks around the neighborhood too. I average between 6.5 to 8.5 miles per weekday, usually around 10+ miles per day on the weekend and usual no less than 14,000 steps on any day of the week. In a perverse kind of way, COVID-19 has helped me become more healthy and fit!
However, the increase in exercise and activity aggravated a hip injury I incurred back in October 2019 so, after listening to Dr. Tieri on Medical Monday, I turned to this book.
The book is easy and simple to follow, leveraging very down to earth layman terms for medical conditions without the heavy hand of medical jargon. Presented in three distinct segments - Upper Body, Lower back and Lower Body - the reader can jump to the section most applicable to their condition or read the entire book to understand how the entire body interacts from head to toe.
Each section provides a simple set of exercises that focuses on stretching, strengthening and range of motion. The importance and significance of alignment and movement are foundational principles of the entire book. A Ten-Minute-a-Day Program is suggested to maximize results while recognizing a minimal time commitment to increase the likelihood of stickiness with the routine.
The author goes on to recommend other resources like yoga, physical therapy, osteopathic manipulation, therapeutic massage to name just a few of the alternatives to cortisone shots and surgery.
Over all this is a great entry point for anyone unfamiliar with bodywork and the principles of proper body alignment and everyday movement to ease so many of the aches and pains we ensure from sitting long periods of time, computer work, and poor posture, to name just a few of the habits we’ve developed over time as work spaces and leisure activities have evolved.
Even if the suggestions in the book don’t target your specific ailment, at least it can steer you to other resources while educating you along the way.

Dr Tieri is an osteopathic physician with specialties in Cranial osteopathy and Osteopathic manipulation. He has helped thousands of adults and children with a variety of ailments.
In this informative book, he provides easy to follow help with examples and illustrations. There is a lot of good information. The exercises he described, if done daily, can be very effective for aches and pains. The assessment section was helpful for targeting a certain area of body pain. The book also includes strengthening exercises. His approach is to end pain. It is a good approach to a healthier body.

An interesting book that advocates mostly stretching to help reduce the pain of everything from migraines to pain in the feet. Most of the advice seems reasonable and the theory behind the activities for each "area" of the body help you understand why the stretches are useful. The stretches are illustrated and aren't daunting. Probably most anybody in reasonable shape can follow these stretches. Nothing really new here, however. Most of the stretches are beginning/basic yoga moves that can be found in any book. However, it is nice to have them all in one place.

I love this book. I read the whole thing through and now I am on about day 5 of doing the stretching routine every day. I like the way the stretches make me feel although I do not like doing them just as I do not like doing any exercise unless it is outside walking or biking, but those do not help keep us limber. I will say that although the book says you can do these in 10 minutes, it is more like 15-20 minutes for me since I still have to stop in between stretches to look at the book for guidance.

This book really hit home for me. Although I have a gym membership, I would simply rather walk, stretch and lift in the comfort of my home. This is something I can easily do after that first cup of coffee.
I do think they alienated many who are under age 50 with the book title. More people are working remotely and are more sedentary than ever. The aches and pains are so gradual that from age 35 - 50, you won’t realize the changes until there is a problem.
The book is an easy read and well worth the time and effort it takes to open it.

A good simple book that directs stretching and strengthening exercises to deal with the aches and pains we all accumulate with time.
They can be learned and conducted daily with ease and are results oriented which is great.

What a great book! I am not unfamiliar with bodywork: massage, strength training, tai chi, physio, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, and more. However, every time I tried to get into stretching it was either just very limited, like a physio stretch for an injury or a warmup stretch for an activity, or an encyclopedic volume of stretches for advanced athletes.
While the stretches are nothing new, the program is designed based on clinical experience of an osteopath, optimized for the average person who experiences pain and limitations of mobility as they age. This is a rampant general problem that in my opinion is basically crippling people unnecessarily, and Dr. Tieri has solved it beautifully in a small book, with exercises that take only 10 minutes a day. The summary table of exercises breaks it down in 30-second increments, and I do it in 10 minutes.
I am promoting this book to my friends, because I know people over 70 who have difficulty getting out of chairs, can't stand for a long time in the kitchen to bake, or fear they would be unable to get out of the bathtub, so they only take showers. I want them to have the benefits I did. I am 60, and this summer I was so sore and stiff I couldn't dance anymore. I had sciatica, couldn't sleep, was tossing and turning. Is this old age? Might as well die, don't want to live like this. Tried a few books, and this one was by far the best. Fixed me up and I don't have to do it absolutely every day anymore, but did at first when it was remedial for me.
I modified a couple exercises because I prefer to stretch the psoas by hanging my leg off of a box on my deck, for example, but this is a rock solid program that does not require any equipment like a tall box or table to lie on. I feel confident that I'm doing something important for my health when I do these. I've proven that to myself because of the fantastic results I got. After less than 2 months I had no more sciatica, no more painkillers, and I can go up and down steps with ease rather than dread.

Helpful. Lots of comprehensive explanations and some photos and exercise directions.

A very good and basic book of stretching that also provides some of the hows and whys we get so messed up as we age. I can definitely see this becoming an important part of my daily routine.

Some very good advice. Now what’s needed is to put it into practice.

Easy read, thoughtful commentary
If you, like me, have been an athlete and desire to keep being active, this is a quick and excellent read.

A 10 minute everyday full body workout for Stretching, Strengthening and Range-of-Motion in clear instruction with photos and alternate position. A very useful tool to maintain health, strength and mobility.

This book has some great stretching routines for keeping mobility as we age. They actually take a little longer than 10 minutes/day, but that's OK. I did this routine for quite a while.

This book claims that you can improve your physical health and end the suffering and grip of pain by stretching and strengthening for only 10 minutes a day. This sounds so doable! Dr. Tieri explains that we are blaming our aches and pains on arthritis when it might be due to other things such as poor posture over the years or a sedentary lifestyle. The recommended exercises all have illustrations and descriptions, which is so helpful and makes it easier to follow. He explains the common causes of pain in different regions of the body. He also explains how to survive when you are a typical office worker and so much more. This is a terrific book! I plan to start his recommendations today and hope to see an improvement very soon.
