Review #1
Today, the number one ailment affecting Americans is back pain, which impacts more than 80 percent of the population. An additional 70 million adults also suffer from arthritis and joint inflammation. While traditional medicine treats these common aches and discomforts as mechanical problems to be cured by mechanical means, little to nothing is done to alleviate the stress at the root of the issues.
Risa Sheppard and Dr. David Tannenbaum collaborate in "Mindful Movement: Heal Your Back Pain with BAM Therapy" to provide practical and effective help for those living with chronic musculoskeletal pain and related ailments.
"Mindful Movement" offers essential information on the back, along with spiritual wisdom and Pilates movements for alleviating and healing back pain. The authors have poured over seventy years of combined experience in healing into Mindful Movement, along with cutting-edge medical research that supports Body and Mind Therapy (BAM).
In the pages of "Mindful Movement, grateful readers are presented with guidelines on how to incorporate spiritual mentalities and gentle exercise therapy for those who seek to heal their body naturally, without resorting to drugs or invasive surgeries. Constricted minds create constricted bodies, and in turn, open minds create open, fluid, free-moving bodies.
Specifically, "Mindful Movement" helps readers do the following: Understand the connection between emotional stress and physical pain; Identify the source of pain; Alleviate pain from the body; Replace drug therapy with gentle healing techniques; Manage sanity in the face of stressful experiences.
Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of non-specialist general readers (and invaluable for medical care providers as well), "Mindful Movement: Heal Your Back Pain with BAM Therapy" is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, and college/university library Health/Medicine collections and supplemental Alternative Medicine curriculum studies lists. It should be noted that "Mindful Movement" is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.99).

The authors write, “I learned that I could go within, find that perfect place, and allow my mind to connect with my body. I found the power within me, and it was far greater than I could have imagined. From that point on, I competed only with myself and strived to be better each day. Sometimes I hit the mark, and sometimes I do not. But there is always tomorrow. Starting over where we are is a sure sign that we are going to be and do better. Pilates forces us to go within, find our own rhythm, and create a physical sensation that is uniquely our own.”
