Low Back Disorders: Evidence-Based Prevention and Rehabilitation is by far and away the best book on lower back health on the shelves. Noted physiologist Dr. Stuart McGill takes a research-based approach on the subject, providing readers with the science behind the cause (much of the research was done by McGill himself and published in peer-reviewed journals). Many of the common myths on spinal health are dispelled, and insight into the onset of back troubles is enhanced by the inclusion of various assessment tests. Programs both for prevention and rehab are provided, with specific exercise suggestions and routine protocols. The moves themselves are simple to perform and highly effective. I have integrated many of the principles outlined in the book into my client's routines with great success.
There is no fluff in the book. It's written in a very straight-forward, no-nonsense manner. Yet it is not overly technical and can easily be understood by the layperson without any previous knowledge of science. The text is supported by hundreds of photos as well as numerous charts and graphs.
In sum, Low Back Disorders: Evidence-Based Prevention and Rehabilitation is truly a cutting-edge book. A must for anyone interested in treating and/or maintaining low back health. Highly recommended!
