Según las estadísticas, una de cada tres personas sufre dolor de espalda. Incluso podría hablarse de una enfermedad de la civilización. Un 80% de los casos tienen su causa en que el sistema muscular se encuentra hipertónico o hipotrófico, y sólo en un 20% de los casos se pudo emitir un diagnóstico patológico. La causa principal es la falta de movimiento, las posturas incorrectas y el propio proceso degenerativo. Los ejercicios que presenta este libro tienen como finalidad mantener la funcionalidad de la columna, y si ya existe algún trastorno funcional, se tendrá que efectuar un estiramiento y relajación o reforzamiento en los puntos afectados para aliviar de nuevo la columna vertebral. Los ejercicios se distinguen por ser sostenidos e isométricos y pueden ser realizados de forma lenta y consciente. Los movimientos con fuerte rebote o balanceo han sido eliminados ya que sobrecargan la columna. El libro se distingue, sobre todo, por una clara ordenación de los temas, unos programas de ejercicios muy amplios y por las útiles indicaciones para la aplicación de determinados movimientos o nuestra vida cotidiana y que pueden ayudarnos a evitar acciones nocivas para nuestra espalda. Cada ejercicio contiene: la posición inicial, en qué consiste el ejercicio, las indicaciones concretas, los efectos y las posibles variaciones a realizar.

By Bruce Vaughan
The author of Rabid dogs in the East takes us through the chiropractic profession's struggle to gain acceptance. The reader experiences the frustrations of a young chiropractic graduate who finds himself in a very hostile environment. Medical opposition in the 60s turns to inhuman, determined and illegal protectionism in America, where leading anti-chiropractic crusaders described them as "rabid dogs", "killers", "unscientific cultists" and of course "quacks". Dr. Bruce Vaughan found a similar attitude when he opened his practice in Hong Kong. Rabid dogs in the East describes the constant fight he had to build his own practice as well as a recognized profession in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong and latterly the Special Administrative Region of China. It is a fascinating insight into life in Hong Kong as it goes through the changes from the fifties to the present day, as seen through the eyes of an American trained British chiropractor. Rabid Dogs in the East, although interspersed with humor, does not pull any punches or hide the anger that has built up over the years of antagonism.
