Back-care-cize is a series of three tapes (A,B, and C), created by Dr. Linda J. Nelson to aid people who are suffering from back pain, as well as those who simply want to perform healthy exercises. We looked at the second tape in the series, which is designed "for increased strengthening and stretching, and for people with little or no pain." More physically challenging than the "A" tape, the program is nevertheless gentle on the back, as Nelson guides viewers through a series of exercises for the neck and shoulders, legs, abdominals, thighs, and lower back. The program concludes with a visualization/relaxation period, which is a bit corny, but fortunately doesn't account for much of the program (approx. 10 minutes). Although the video market for back pain exercise tapes is already fairly glutted, this is a fine choice for public libraries. (Available from: Back-care-cize, 1021 San Abella, Encinitas, CA 92024.)
