In this video I do a brief review of a book that I have found very useful and helpful in treatment of back pain, “The Back Mechanic” by Dr. Stuart McGill, PhD.

This book is great because it explains the structure and function of the back, how to assess your own back, as well as treatment strategies.

As always, I recommend seeing a specialist regarding your injuries but this book is a solid resource for gaining more knowledge about low back issues.
