By Dr. Craig Liebenson with Dr.'s Scott Chapman, Ronald LeFebvre, Carol DeFranca, Donald Murphy, Natalie Gluck, Jerry Hyman, and Maria Perri Reviews of the Video Series

Video: Rehabilitation of the Spine"This eight videotape series should be in the library of every practitioner dealing with pain in the musculoskeletal system. Included are diagnostic and therapeutic principles developed by some of the world's leading physicians in the field, and are clearly and practically presented for the clinician and patient. The exercise prescription gives the patient the ability to participate in the management of their problem in a comprehensive, safe and fun manner. The rehabilitation goal of having the patient responsible for their own health is laudably achieved." Philip Greenman, D.O., F.A.A.O. Emeritus Professor, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine

"…10+…the Rehabilitation of the Spine videos are the absolute finest I have viewed…While there are many videos on the market that describe spinal stabilization exercises, none compare to this video in terms of detail and manner of presentation." David Seaman, D.C., C.C.N. Video Review in Dynamic Chiropractic October 4, 1999 Health and Fitness Professional Series
