BOOK
Lumbar Spine Disorders Current Concepts
$61.00

About this product:
This is a companion to Volume 1 with the same title and a similar approach: namely to draw together current understanding of the multifactorial nature of back pain. Both volumes together contain chapters contributed by most of the leading researchers into back pain in the UK and as such they constitute an unparalleled resource. Rather than concentrating on specialist areas such as surgery or the lumbar spine, the emphasis is on understanding the function and failure of the spine and its component tissues. As such it contains material which is applicable to anyone with an interest in any aspect of the spine; from biomechanics to blood flow, epidemiology to economics, nerves to nutrition and everything else in between.

BOOK
Belly and Its Power
Allan Saltzman
$8.00

About this product:
Review of The Belly and Its Power by Allan Saltzman

I rate this book as a emust havef, simply because of its title. The cover illustration is a black & white illustration of the eidealf man with protruding belly. As a coffee table book it will stimulate all sorts of discussion. This book is an introduction to gkinesthesiah, the ginner body senseh that if fine-tuned will lead one to reduce stress, relax more, and heal from the rigors of modern day life. Stretching and being mindful of our muscles, joints, organs and blood vessels helps to develop kinesthesia. The book is divided into eight sections, each about a particular stretching/stimulation technique, or philosophy, and is well illustrated, with clear sketches and several black & white photos to demonstrate the stretching techniques. The author skims the surface of each topic, enough for the reader to decide whether he or she likes what is offered and wants to find out more. If so, the end of each section contains a bibliography and list of references. The book has elements of yoga, qigong, shiatsu and chiropracy among others, but manages to avoid comparing or even naming systems. Instead, the book keeps the focus on developing kinesthesia. A device called a gSpinal Rollerh features in several sections. Preeminent intellectuals from China, India, Japan, and the West and somehow blended together into a coherent picture. Christianity features in one section, which makes this book somewhat of a rarity for the genre. The nervous system is also treated in some detail. The only thing missing is an overall index.

BOOK
Intervertebral Discs and Other Mechanical Disorders of the Lumbar Spine: Evidence-Based Conservative Management and Treatment
C.K. Fernando
$15.00

About this product:
This is a book written for physical therapists and physicians interested in the treatment of patients with low back pain. The author has brought nearly 50 years of clinical training and scientific evidence to write this book. According to a very well known physical therapist, this book is claimed to be a seminal book on low back pain, and according to Dr. Basmajian (Father of EMG Biofeedback) "it should strengthen the hands and minds of several branches of the healing professions while clearing the debris of dubious techniques." The book is about treatment of Mechanical Disorders of Lumbar Spine and mainly Intervertebral Disc Disorders by physical therapists using conservative techniques. The author is cognizant of the fact that patients who come to physical therapy should not be harmed by physical therapy, hence with this in mind, these gentle techniques are presented to the practicing physical therapist and the student alike. There are 9 chapters with two appendices and an index. The three anatomy chapters were co-authored with Dr. Arthur Nelson. The next few chapters are on sprains/strains, intervertebral disc conditions, spinal stenosis and disc degeneration, spondylolesthesis/spondylolysis and spondylosis. In addition to that, there are chapters on epidemiology, clinical evaluation, chronic low back pain, and physical therapy techniques. The main thrust in this book, is that all patients must be treated by proper clinical diagnosis based on pathophysiology using sensitive and specific tests and arriving at treatment techniques which are evidence based. This book is not for the believer and non-scientist, but to all those who profess to be physical therapists/scientists. This might be the only book written by two physical therapists for the treatment of patients suffering low back problems, with evidence to back it up.
