    Back Mechanic cured my severe sciatica when other PT's and docs couldn't. Also helped my friend. Great read.

    I read his book Back Mechanic and last 6 months I do his big 3 exercises before every workout in the gym and every time before running workout. 0 back pain since. Stiffness and stability is best thing you can do for your back

    I fixed my occasional lower back pain and constant and extreme planta fasciitis over the last year or so through hot yoga. I go four or five times per week.  The pain is all gone now. I only explicitly do the bird dog, but I do similar movements to the other two.  "The Big Three," Bikram, Original Strength, and many other programs can probably get similar results. Going to my HMO provider did nothing for me! If I relied on that, I'd probably have ended up under a knife getting a tendon cut.  I'm grateful all of this information is out there now for free.

    Would be worthwhile explaining benefits of the big 3 for someone with anterior pelvic tilt/twist. It&apos;s extremely difficult to engage 1 side of my obliques when doing the side plank and bird dogs feel different on either side.

    I love the backhoe reference. As a shop teacher/ football coach, i compare movements to machinery all the time.

    My back pain is from a compressed fracture of L3 and L5. I am now 62, the injury happened when I was 22, and I’ve had lower back pain ever since, exacerbated by , for example, using a chainsaw or digging. I am hoping these exercises will help.
