Re[2]: dodgy hips

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam all back pain-ers,

 

 

I am instructor of Hatha Yoga since 1977. Since then most of my

students come to me recommended by their doctors or others therapeuts. So I

have a lot of experience in this area.

 

I strongly recommend the book

"Back Care Basics", by Mary Pullig Schatz, M.D.

It's a Doctor's Gentle Yoga Program for Back and Neck Pain Relief.

 

"Back Care Basics is an important book for the medical profession to

consider most carefully, as it is for those with back problems to

integrate into their daily lives. More and more medical practitioners

are finding that yoga can benefit their patients. I regularly refer my

patients with coronary heart disease, obesity, and musculoskeletal

problems to qualified yoga teachers, and they are encouraged with the

results. Dr, Schatz has done us all a tremendous service in bringing

this time honored system of healing to our attention."
