Cure Back Pain with Yoga

by Loren Fishman, Carol Ardman

From the authors of Back Pain , an easy-to-use book offering yoga techniques to control back pain and sciatica. This book distinguishes the nine common causes of low back pain, teaches you how to identify them, and describes appropriate yoga poses to relieve each one of them. Loren M. Fishman, MD, is an internationally recognized expert in yoga and the clinical treatment of sciatica and low back pain. Here he helps you determine how to start your own yoga practice or alter your existing practice, depending on your physical condition and the cause of your particular pain. The postures, each one illustrated by a photograph, target specific sources of pain―from arthritis to sacroiliac joint derangement―and demonstrate how you can manage and ultimately end your pain.

Text heavy. I do like some of the modifications. Back pain is why so many people go to a yoga class.

I would buy on Kindle since it is so text-heavy. It does feature helpful photos though.

Good for yoga teachers and those with some knowledge of yoga for a home practice.
