Dr. Norman Marcus offers a radically different approach to easing the pain of millions: Sprains and strains are the #1 cause of back pain, and Dr. Marcus explains how muscles are the culprit, rather than the discs and nerves. At the core of No More Back Pain are twenty-one simple exercises that can be done at home, each accompanied by step-by-step instructions and illustrations. First developed by Dr. Hans Kraus, father of the field of sports medicine who was one of John F. Kennedy's back doctors, these exercises have been refined by Dr. Marcus for optimal results. In addition to chapters on pregnancy and aging, Dr. Marcus provides an abundance of tips and tools so readers can find the best course of treatment to end their pain.
