Nationally renowned yoga therapist Robin Rothenberg designed The Essential Low Back Program for everyone, regardless of body type or previous yoga experience.
...
First, Robin relaxes and relieves the tension that has built up from back pain, then she masterfully rebuilds the strength needed to have a healthy back.
...
I have tried muscle relaxers, pain medications, physical therapy and manipulation nothing worked as well as Robin Rothenberg's low back program.
...
For those who are not familiar with Robin, she is a master yoga teacher and therapist with a studio in Issaquah, WA called the Yoga Barn.
She also ran the yoga program in an NIH-sponsored trial which showed viniyoga to be the most effective therapy for those with chronic back pain.
This book and CD are based on that program.
I am a yoga teacher and am currently learning the program by teaching my students.
I always credit Robin with the program and tell them that it was validated by NIH, and I think this is of a lot of interest to them.
In order to teach the lessons, I am following the book and CDs word by word and doing this has immeasurably increased my appreciation for the mind-body connection and the importance of relaxation as well as the strengthening and balancing of the body to alleviate back pain.
Robin's a great and straightforward teacher and it shows in this program.
...
When I am regular about doing the yoga practices Robin has given me the pain inevitably goes away.
