Back RX: A 15-Minute-a-Day Yoga-
and Pilates-Based Program to End
Low Back Pain by Hilary Hinzmann
Aleung
From a noted pioneer in sports medicine comes a breakthrough regimen
for stopping back pain once and for all—without surgery. Eighty-percent
of Americans suffer some form of low-back pain—usually due to a
herniated disk—but long-term relief is rarely achieved. As a physician
specializing in treating athletes, Dr. Vijay Vad has spent years researching
how to cure back pain using medical yoga and Pilates. Profiled in The Wall
Street Journal, his program requires just fifteen minutes a day for eight
weeks to restore flexibility and prevent future injuries. Offering a proven
alternative to invasive surgery, Dr. Vad’s Back Rx provides the best of
mind/body medicine by giving readers three step-by-step exercise series,
demonstrated in 130 precise photographs, for implementing his popular
program at home. Even readers with severely limited mobility will rejoice in
Dr. Vad’s gentle introductory workout. Progressing through his self-paced
program, they will discover a new range of exercises, breathing

techniques, and tips for self-massage. For those who want to go even
further and use this program for more than the treatment of a single injury,
an advanced workout is included that puts readers on the road to peak
performance. The perfect combination of modern medicine, Pilates
innovations, and ancient yoga postures, Back Rx builds important new
fundamentals for lifelong freedom from pain.
Personal Review: Back RX: A 15-Minute-a-Day Yoga- and
Pilates-Based Program to End Low Back Pain by Hilary
Hinzmann
I am 35 years old and was a very active runner, cyclist, lift weights and
practiced yoga. I became immobilized overnight by back pain and an
orthopedic surgeon shook his head and told me he didn't know why I was
in so much pain. This book emphasizes yoga that can be done lying on
the floor, so it can be used very early on. It is very similar to what I was
prescribed by my physical therapist--I even took the book to my first
appointment and she bookmarked the pages she wanted me to
emphasize. Between this book and Back Care Yoga by Schatz I have
returned to my normal activities. I even recommend having them spiral
bound so you can lay them on the floor next to you. The only thing not in
these two books was advice by my physical therapist--twice a day
everyday--forever.
