This book presents exercises to strengthen the multifidus group. Simple explanations and black-and-white drawings throughout show readers how to work with these muscles.

As a neurologist, I see a lot of people with low back pain. After getting back pain 2 years ago, I was frustrated that nothing seemed to help, but this book gives one a lot of hope and very reasonable exercises and approach toward back pain. so far, so good. Back pain is better, and I try to keep exercising the Mutifidus muscles every other day...more or less!

Helped Prepare Me for Surgery by Citizen John (Washington, DC)

Even with already 31 prior customer reviews, I feel my experience will be beneficial for those people destined for surgery. This book, a gift from a family member, helped a lot because post-surgery recovery is much easier if you go in with a strong multifidus. In my case, one disk was severely degenerated already - it had basically melted away over time and I had bone on bone. In fact, the upper vertebra above that disk had slid more than 40% off the lower one and finally cracked in one place just prior to surgery, and this caused a whole set of other long-term potential problems. I had constant pain and numbness in one whole leg including the foot, the common experience for people prior to this surgery. Activities were one by one getting eliminated from my life. Therefore, my situation was not one where theories about chronic back pain mattered anymore. I had to get the spinal fusion operation. I did not see any alternative nor did any medical professionals with whom I consulted. When the upper vertebra cracked, I got scheduled for surgery right away and within days. Before reading the book, I did not know about the multifidus. The author, Jim Johnson, P.T., did a great job explaining this very unique part of the anatomy to a lay person such as myself. He also provided key exercise(s) and instructions for performing them to strengthen the multifidus. I used a fitness ball, hand weights and ankle weights every other night just as prescribed. I slowly increased the weight amount, the holding time, and the number of repetitions. I also did the exercises in reverse, facing belly up, to strengthen my abdomen muscles, which was not prescribed in the book. When I went into my spinal fusion surgery, a 5 ½ hour operation, I went in with a very thick and strong multifidus. You want to go in with a very strong multifidus. Afterward the surgeon commented on the unusual strong muscles there. This was important because recovery after this surgery varies a lot depending on many factors. I am in otherwise very good physical condition. That is why I understand that this can happen to anybody. But the key, I believe, was that I followed the exercise instruction of the author. My post operation recovery, while extremely difficult for the first few days, turned out to be excellent. Now I am still recovering because it takes a full year for the bone to completely form in a fusion. One thing I had trouble with before going into the operation was that I had never communicated with anybody that had this operation. It would have helped to have somebody to tell me their experience. There are a few testimonials that one can find on the Internet, but I never got a chance to communicate about this with a former patient of this operation. I would be happy to exchange email with an individual facing a spinal fusion operation. For this reason, I provided an email in my profile.

Interesting facts in this book, but errors, too. The most serious error is the assumption that multifidus will tag along automatically. For those that it will, this might work perfectly. However, I've understood that it is for some of us absolutely critical to learn to voluntarily contract our low back multifidus as well. And that important part is missing in this book. (In my case the right side multifidi in my lower apparently didn't kick in during light activities for 8 years. When I was taught to voluntarily contract the multifidi they started contributing. This fact is based on scientific studies and you can check it e.g. in Therapeutic Exercise for Lumbopelvic Stabilization: A Motor Control Approach for the Treatment and Prevention of Low Back Pain ) I would recommend Rick Jemmett's book on Spinal Stabilization instead. That is a buy you won't regret!

If you want practical and realistic information on a very important part of your body, look no further. The Multifidus Back Pain Solution is a quick and concise educational read on the topic of the Multifidus muscles in your back... I really enjoyed the way that Jim Johnson relies on clinical trials for his writings, I'm definitely a fan of that style of writing as there is very little room for fluff. He has a logical approach that is self-evident and there is very little room for speculation with the research provided. And the best part is the simple exercise, which has been hailed as the golden egg by many chiropractors and patients alike. I have several friends who have noticed large gains in their overall strength to their legs and arms of all places. *nerves from the spine extend to limbs This is a cheap purchase that you can pass around to your friends, although I recommend you pick up a copy for yourself to 1) have it in your personally library 2) support the author for a job well done. Namaste, Dey
