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.

Rolling up and down on the Back Roller is fun. Even better for you, this rolling motion helps relieve the aches of sore back and shoulder muscles - in minutes. You can also place the Back Roller lengthwise along your spine and roll gently side-to-side to open your chest and shoulders. This will also counter the hunching of your upper back, allowing for fuller and deeper breathing. The Back Roller's dense foam outer sleeve is reinforced with a plastic tubing core for added firmness. It won't dig or pinch your back like some others and is soft enough for extended use. Measures 4" thick and 16" long
