Robin McKenzie (1931–2013)

I believe my older sister gave me this book. She was working at a chiropractor's office. One day, quite a few years back now, I had a sciatic nerve pain killing me. This was probably due to the way I sit all curled up on the couch with my legs tucked under me to one side, reading books for hours at a time or watching television day after day. It ran down from the right side of my right hip and down that right leg. Painful!!! Doing the exercise in the book completely alleviated the whole situation, so this book gets a big fat 5-stars.… (mais)

I was fortunate to encounter a rehabber for my sciatica from herniated disks and spinal stenosis who knew this method. She taught me the simple little exercises and in a matter of weeks, severe pain that I had fought for a long time faded away. My series of spinal shots couldn't fix it. Other rehabbers and doctors couldn't fix it. 3 minutes of easy McKenzie exercises did.

Mr. McKenzie was quite an excitable gentleman who BELIEVED in his excercises that are partly based on yoga, but with a few important variations. Don't be put off by his "voice". Just get the book and do what he says.… (mais)
