Critic reviews

“I am a physical therapist in an orthopedic setting with Pilates instructors and think this book would be an amazing asset for anyone that wants to know how to serve their clients best, without being intimidated by their diagnosis. This book makes it easy to understand common pathologies, gives practical applications for different movement styles, and also gives exercise program suggestions to apply right away. I wish it was around earlier in my own training.”—Funmilayo Hill, doctor of physical therapy

...a precise roadmap to individualized rehabilitation that will minimize the chance of aggravation of existing spinal and related issues and promote strength, flexibility, balance, and pain reduction for better functional status and quality of life. Ms. Miller dives deep into common spinal conditions such as scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis, and stenosis, as well as sacroiliac joint and hip issues. Safe Movement for All Spines is a tremendous contribution to the fields of physical rehabilitation and fitness. I recommend it highly for anyone who works with people with back and hip conditions.”—Gail M. Dubinsky, MD, orthopedic medicine physician and certified yoga instructor

“...a well-researched tool that will benefit professionals and laypersons alike. Meant to educate and empower individuals, the emphasis is to teach and experience safe movement while working with spinal conditions. Exercises specific to yoga, Pilates, and general conditioning are included, as well as contraindications for each. Many excellent references are included for further study. I highly recommend this for those interested in improving spinal health!”—Shelley Mogel, MA, exercise physiologist
