### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Help Your Back. Help Your Tennis Game.
*by J***Z on June 5, 2018*

My tennis trainer/coach introduced me to the work of Dr. Stuart McGill through what I came to know as “The Big Three” (well represented on the internet). This is a set of core exercises that includes the “curl up.” The curl up is a substitute for the sit-ups and crunches we’ve been brought up on – but which Dr. McGill has found can injure the spine. One thing led to another and I wound up buying and studying his most recent book, published in 2017. To cut to the chase, my back remains in excellent condition and my tennis game has improved. I link these directly to a greater understanding of how to protect my lumbar spine and how to strengthen my core without hurting myself. Dr. McGill extensively discusses “stiffness” as a way of protecting the spine and also for allowing the most effective flow of energy and power through the kinetic chain. Particularly fascinating and useful is his presentation (on p. 187) of how you can generate tremendously increased grip strength by calling stiffness into play, evoking “neuronal overflow.” In trying this out, be careful you don’t crush someone’s hand or allow yours to be crushed. I have found, and continue to find, this book to be tremendously interesting, well documented, and useful. I suspect that physicians, trainers, and athletes will, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable information
*by J***Y on June 26, 2024*

Particularly in the area of health care, the publishing market is flooded with unreliable information. This book is careful. It is based not only on extensive academic studies, but on academic studies carefully correlated to clinical treatment. It recognizes the difference between muscles whose function is to stabilize the body during movement and muscles intended to create movement. Recognizing physical reality and correlating it with years of successful rehabilitation of many back difficulties, I see this as very reliable information. A person who simply wished to avoid injury could use this book to help structure a good exercise program. A person who was injured but could not afford the increasingly inaccessible medical system, might buy this book for less than a treatment session and accomplish a good portion of self-rehab. It is, of course, never optimal to avoid medical treatment. Not everyone can afford it these days.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for back issues
*by C***. on October 21, 2024*

Everyone with a back should read this book. I wish it were required reading in school. Explains in layman’s terms not just how to deal with back problems but avoid them in the first place.
