"Save your physical therapy money and read this! Lauren provided a better explanation of the physiological issues and provided more self stretching exercises than my physio. After repeated injuries from soccer, I believe these tips will help to strengthen and stabilize my already weakened core. Quick read, but very informative! Thanks!"
"The information in this book has helped me deal with my decades long pain in my lower back and both hips. By following Lauren's clear advice, my pain is mostly gone. The stretches must be done everyday, but they are easily done. Several stretches are explained, videos imbedded to show you exactly how to do them. This is a well written book. Lauren's has also included simple strengthening exercises as well. I heartily recommend this little book."
