From the Publisher:
What an incredibly useful book! I had the pleasure of working on this book with the wonderful author team a few years back. But it wasn't until I had a common medical problem of my own--tendonitis--that I realized how utterly fabulous this book is. It gives you exercises you can do at home to alleviate your problem BEFORE you see the doctor--and I saved myself a bunch of money in medical bills! I've since given the book to many of my friends, and they swear by it. Back pain? Headaches? Ear pain? Lumpy breasts? See what you need to be concerned about, what you don't, and what you should do. This book is written in such an accesible tone and style you won't be disappointed. --E. Zack, Sr. Editor, The Ballantine Publishing Group
