Although a cursory look at the contents look comprehensive, a close look at the chapters are disappointing
I know lots of scientist friends that devote their life studying LBP & pain generators like Dr Panjarbi
In the section on pain generators in this book,
instead of giving a good description of spinal segmental innervation, the works of Panjarbi etc, the author seemed to suggest that many previous writings & literature on this important aspect of LBP are ‘conjectures at best’ – though
downgrading the hard works of others, the same author cannot
give a good discussion of pain generators himself
There is a hint there is inadequate respect of other
people’s work over the decades. Extremely disappointing attitude

This is the best book on rehabilitation I’ve ever read. I come from a rehabilitation background but I’m very impressed with the content. Great work!

Must have for chiropractic students. I’ll be going into clinic soon and this book is a savior. GREAT summarization of the most popular soft tissue techniques and core stabilization.

As a physical therapist, I find myself turning to this book frequently. This book compiles some of the best minds of today and integrates the latest research on the back into an accessible format. The techniques and exercises are clear and easy to reproduce. The focus on functional outcomes and patient activation are critical in framing how clinicians treat those with back pain. I strongly recommend this book to any practitioner who works with people with back pain.

Best comprehensive approach to rehabilitation methods to date. I have taken the diplomate program to get board certified in rehabilitation, the basis of which is from the Rehabilitation of the Spine. Craig Liebenson’s book is one of the finest rehab manuals out there today.
