Description

Relieve back pain and rehab injuries at home, with expert guidance

Back pain and injuries put a real damper on your quality of life and keep you from doing the activities you enjoy. In-person physical therapy can work wonders to alleviate the discomfort, but not everyone has the time or resources to access that sort of care—and those who do often find that the number of sessions they are permitted is limited by their insurance. Rehab Science: Back and Spine empowers you to take charge of your own health, whether you have acute pain from an unknown cause, you sustained an injury, or you have chronic pain that just won’t go away. With some foundational knowledge and the right exercise strategies, you can figure out what’s wrong and take steps toward healing.

In this book, you will find:

• Proven methods for reducing pain and recovering from injury, including soft tissue massage, stretching, mobility exercises, and resistance exercises
• A systematic approach to identifying the type of back pain or injury you have and selecting the right rehab exercise protocol to address it
• A clear blueprint for improving movement and mobility and increasing trunk strength and tissue capacity
• A comprehensive “prehab” program to help prevent back and spine injuries and future flare-ups

• Low back pain
• Mid-back and rib pain
• Muscle strains
• Facet joint sprains
• Spondylosis and spondylolisthesis
• SI joint pain
• Nerve pain (sciatica, disc herniation, lumbar stenosis)
• Thoracic disc bulge
• And more
