Synopsis
Jim and Phil Wharton, a father-and-son training team, add to their catalog of fitness guides with THE WHARTONS' BACK BOOK. They began their journey as physical trainers in a successful bid to relieve Phil Wharton's scoliosis through what they now call the Active Isolated Stretching and Strengthening Program.The Whartons encourage the reader to use exercise and fitness to avoid back pain or heal it once it occurs, beginning with a detailed explanation of the anatomy of the back, and moving into the traditional medical viewpoint on common back problems and their causes.The system continues with a training program each reader can tailor to individual needs, including many details about specific diagnoses and exercises recommended to help with or cure the ailments. Throughout their well-illustrated volume, the Whartons encourage the reader to think like an athlete, rather than a patient, and they encourage individual participation in healing and continued back health. With sections on maintaining a healthy back during body changes (weight loss or gain, pregnancy, and aging), stress, sleep, and proactive planning for potentially harmful situations, THE WHARTONS' BACK BOOK provides good counsel for any reader interested in proactive back wellness.
