Pain Relief! by M. Crawford (San Francisco, CA)  5 Stars
January 19, 2009
I've been suffering with sciatica for 3 years now and couldn't get through a day without pain meds. Since doing the exercises as described in the book, I have been able to reduce or eliminate (depending on the day) my use of pain medication. Awesome! It helped that I already knew exactly what was structurally wrong in my body: my pelvis is not only twisted but one side is higher than the other. This book addresses both of these conditions... and four others. My husband has poor upper back posture (slumped shoulders) and there are even a set of exercises for that. We commit 15 minutes each night to the exercises and it helps! It's not the miracle answer, but if you commit the time and energy, your pain will be reduced significantly.

Excellent Fitness Expert Resource and Client Handbook by Lori Frederic (San Diego, CA) 5 Stars
July 15, 2008
Anthony Carey is a true expert in his field and shares exercises and theories for pain relief in this well written book. It is easy to read for the general population and a great resource for Personal Trainers.
As a specialist in corrective exercise, I refer to "The Pain-Free Program" often as well as Anthony's "Corrective Exercises for Powerful Change 2 DVD".
Some of my clients like that they can use the book as a sort-of handbook to remind them that the path to pain relief takes more than getting a knowledgable Personal Trainer, it takes the will to put in their own daily effort!
With Anthony's book, it makes pain relief possible.

Extremely helpful book by Pamela Ann (USA) 5 Stars
December 05, 2007
I purchased this book because I am having multiple aches and pains in my low back and in my neck, accompanied by headaches. I was expecting yet another generalized run-of-the-mill stretching exercise book and I was so very pleasantly surprised! (I had checked this book out of my local library prior to purchasing, so I knew ahead of time how wonderful it was.) I especially like the variety of body postures/images included in the book. The diagrams show you a new way to "look" at your own particular body to point out specific malalignments. Because of this unique feature, I was quickly able to determine my own mechanical problems and then go to the specifically targeted exercises to deal with these mechanical problems. For me, I quickly was able to identify a high hip on one side, a shorter leg, a slouched shoulder, forward head, etc., etc. When I do the specific exercises for my malalignment problems, I KNOW I am getting some real help, instead of just generally "hoping" for a good result! The book is almost like having your own personal trainer examining you and then custom-tailoring exercises to work on your particular problems. It is just that specific! I am impressed.
