"This book explores the anatomy and movement of the spine and offers exercises that stabilize, mobilize, and reduce back pain. Low-back pain, disc bulge and herniation, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, and spinal fusions are discussed along with guidelines for safety and self-assessment. Throughout the book, unique clay models of the spine reveal each layer of the spinal anatomy, from the spinal vertebrae and discs to the muscle and tissue."-- Provided by publisher.
