Self-help back book strikes a chord!
“Treat Your Own Back,” written by Robin McKenzie and published by Spinal Publications (NZ) Ltd, is now New Zealand’s third best selling book, outsold only by Edmonds Cookbook and Yates Gardening Guide. Since its first publication in 1980, “Treat Your Own Back” has been reprinted 11 times and has now been translated into Spanish, Dutch, German and French with further translations pending. The author has lectured worldwide and his contributions have been recognised both in New Zealand and internationally. In 1982 he was made an Honorary Life Member of the American Physical Therapy Association, in recognition of distinguished and meritorious service to the art and science of physical therapy and to the welfare of mankind. In 1983 he was elected to membership of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine. (He is the only New Zealander to belong to this prestigious Society which consists of the world’s top 150 researchers.)
In 1984 he was made a
Fellow of the American Back Society and in 1985 he was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the New Zealand Society of
Physiotherapists. Now in its third edition, “Treat Your Own Back” is available from bookshops throughout New Zealand.
