Publisher's summary

This patient handbook provides an easy-to-follow self-treatment plan to quickly and effectively diagnose, alleviate, treat and manage debilitating back and related pains, even for the long-term sufferer. First in the best-selling Treat Your Own series, written by internationally-acclaimed physiotherapist Robin Mckenzie OBE CNZM, this book distils the essence of the McKenzie method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy®, as taught to medical and other health professionals globally, in an easily accessible format, direct to the sufferer. Now available for the first time in audio, the print version of this charmingly written handbook has been translated into 18 languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Numerous international studies have confirmed that the McKenzie Method® and the advice contained within Treat Your Own Back allows patients to take control of the own pain and postural management, cure sciatica amongst other complaints, avoid surgery and unnecessary dependence on pharmaceuticals and/or clinicians - thereby reflecting Robin McKenzie's selfless determination to put the patient first and empower self-care.

"If it possible to teach a patient to treat themselves, every patient is deserving of that education and every clinician is obliged to provide it" (Robin McKenzie OBE CNZM)

Outstanding!

I bought the paperback for photos but also got the audible version so that I could lay on the floor and just listen as my back was out LOL. The whole first part is theory which you MUST grasp before doing exercises - so if you are in pain, do yourself a favor. Buy the audible version and lay on your belly and relax and listen. Help is on the way.

Why would you not read this !

One of the best books written - I think my opinion matters even more for readers as I am a practicing orthopedic surgeon - this would save the epidemic of unnecessary surgeries by 50% at least if not more

Needs visuals to follow along. Otherwise very helpful and easy to read. Recommend it for sure.

Needs Visuals

The exercises chapter is where the gold is. It’s already helping my chronic low back pain of over 10 years, but a PDF or other visual would make this the best book on back pain in Audible

Terrible

Not a book. Just an advertisement. Waste of money. You would be better served going in line and watching videos.
