With no introduction, instructor Priscilla Patrick (Stretching for Life, PBS) offers two exercise sessions, the first 18-minute segment consisting of mild stretching and relaxation exercises, and the second 20-minute period offering more strenuous movements. The program concludes with some tips from a physical therapist on the use of pillows and towels, which might conceivably have made more sense--along with some discussion of the topic of strengthening one's lower back--at the beginning of the video. The actual exercises are good, but there are too many better tapes out there. Alternatives include: Freedom From Back Pain, Stop Back Pain Now! and The YMCA Healthy Back Video (all covered in VL-11/94). A very optional purchase. (R. Pitman)
