I dealt with the most severe pain in my life for several months with a herniated disk in my neck. I had had spinal epidurals, lots of pain medication and little relief. I finally made the decision that I was going to need surgery. This was Saturday and I had an appointment for Wednesday with my orthopedic. My sister-in-law sent this book to me and I started the exercises on that Saturday. By Wednesday I felt the best I had felt in over 6 months. I asked my orthopedic what he thought about these exercises. He said they probably would help, he knew about McKenzie, but in the 4 months I had been seeing him he never told me about this book or these exercises. 3 months later I have almost no problems. And I did not need surgery. I also now have a favorite sister-in-law.

very clear and useful information. Has helped considerably with my neck pain and headaches.

This book is an easy read, with easy to follow pictures of how to do the exercises, some of which are so simple that I can do them in my car while sitting at a stoplight. The book shows how to do about 5 exercises that not only relieve neck pain - they ward off future occurences of it. Also helpful was the photos of postures to avoid while sitting, driving, and sleeping - I didn't know how important that was. I also recommend "Treat Your Own Back", also by Robin A. McKenzie.
