Based on breakthrough results from new scientific research, The Multifidus Back Pain Solution offers back pain sufferers a series of simple exercises that target the exact muscles that have been newly identified to be the source of back pain. Illustrations accompany each exercise so readers quickly learn how to overcome their pain. When physical therapist Jim Johnson reviewed the double-blind back-pain studies published in peer-reviewed journals in the past 15 years, he found that the research suggested that a specific set of muscles played a key role in the great majority of back pain incidences. The results showed that about 90 percent of back pain suffers have underdeveloped multifidus muscles. These muscles connect the spinal vertebrae together and are involved in very subtle ways with bending and twisting motions of the back. If they are weak, inflamed, or in spasm, they can cause chronic back pain. In response to these findings, Johnson devised a simple series of exercises that focus on strengthening the multifidus muscles - and found that he had fantastic results in reducing and preventing back pain for a wide variety of patients. The Multifidus Back Pain Solution presents these exercises in an accessible, step-by-step format. Line drawings accompany each exercise, so that anyone who suffers from back pain can quickly learn how to work with these muscles to prevent and overcome their pain.
