Booklist Review
Back pain sufferers generally seek all kinds of remedies for their pain. For those willing to try the traditional Chinese medical and martial arts healing technique qigong, this is a good place to start. Yang begins with a basic history of qi theory and practice, then discusses the structure of the back, main causes of back pain, and accepted Western medical back pain treatments. Final chapters contain stretching and breathing exercises, illustrated in sequential photographs, to help alleviate back pain and build muscle strength and endurance. A solid introduction to this ancient treatment. --Sue-Ellen Beauregard
